SSUP Crest Contestamundo Entry #2 May 4 2003, 9:46 PM
Hi! and thank you for your interest.
I created this entry with the traditional Japanese crest as my model. As SSUP is about a society of workers I also thought of the over 75% of Japanese workers belonging to Quality Circles (QC) in Japanese corporations. The QC's help manage the corporation, hopefully to improve not only the quality of the product but the quality of the worker's life. In the 50's Americans taught these principles to Japan, so what happened to us?
The traditional Japanese crest takes elements of nature associated with an organization or family and places these elements in a circle. A search on the web will produce some real beauties.
For my crest entry, I used the elements of Todd's SSUP afternoon mission and SSUP leader, Odd Todd. :)
As for me I don't have active sites up at this moment. I do however sell my personal cache of books on www.alibris.com (Elise Miller) or www.half.com (uptownbot)and (*dvdhound).
I think Todd is great to allow his art for modification by his fans. Its a fun way to learn Photoshop, that's what I have been doing.
