Hi My Name is Philippe Petit-Roulet

COVER ART: So, as I was doing some research [obviously with the help of my good ol' friend google] on Philippe Petit-Roulet, I can across his online website. To my horror, he has not added his recent cover art in this weeks New Yorker edition to his "The New-Yorker" portfolio. Is it just me or should this man broaden his line of work to include greeting cards? I say this not only because his art legitimately looks like it could be on a "Congratulations" card, but also because I greatly dislike greeting cards just as much as I dislike his art. As the cover of a magazine, I can handle it, but if I were to see his artwork on the wall of a museum, I might actually die a little inside. On the flip side, the sugar dispenser he designed is pretty damn cool. I might have to get me one of those.
