New Blog Header Image and WordPress Theme

Jun 25 2009

You may have noticed my new blog header image and the new blog theme I installed which I think it is simpler than most of the WordPress theme that I used for the past two years of blogging. I already received some good comments from friends and readers about it. Thanks. J

The header image was done by a famous artist in the Republic of Georgia who has a TV Show that teaches kids to be an artist like him. His name is Zaliku, I doubt if that is his real name. Who cares right? As long as he’s good on what he does.

Maybe you may ask how I found him. Well, a colleague of mine has a caricature drawing on his table and I asked him who did that caricature. Then he told me who the artist is and gave me his website. I went to the website and send him an email and inquired how much would be a caricature banner cost. I sent a draft of what I wanted and a photo of mine so he can draw a sample before we agreed with the final drawing. After few revisions, voila! I have my new Header image.

He charged me US $50 and was not willing to give me a discount. Being a persistent guy, I asked him if he can draw another caricature of me as a discount. He did! J

Unfortunately the photos that I had with Zaliku and their Art Shop were saved in the memory of the the broken N95 Cellphone

Here’s the other caricature that I used for my About Me page.
