The Colorado design community lost a great leader last week. I learned a lot from him in a very little time. We're going to miss you, Bob.

AIGA Colorado honored him nicely on their blog:

AIGA Colorado Remembers and Honors Robert Taylor (1938-2010)

AIGA Colorado is saddened by the loss of an inspirational and respected member of the design community. Mr. Robert W. Taylor passed away on July 19, 2010 at the age of 71.

Earlier this month the Vatican announced that Pope Benedict XVI is planning a meeting with artists on Nov. 21st. Who knew the Vatican had a PR machine in place? Better yet, who knew there was a Pontifical Council for Culture and Pontifical Commission for the Cultural Patrimony of the Church? God, I love the sound of cultural patrimony.
