Fellow Iowan “non-runner Nancy” has a blog about training for marathons when you’re not really a runner. She discovered heArt-a-Day and asked if she could use the “Nine Patch heArt Quilt” for a logo for a virtual race she’s organizing. I’ve never been much of a runner so I was happy to oblige. Besides, us Iowans have to stick together. If you feel like running nine miles on the ninth of February, pop on over to Nancy’s blog and post your time. Don’t be shy, she’s very nice. In fact, I would say she has a lot of heart.
In honor of the “sweetheart shuffle”, as Nancy is calling it, I’ve remixed the original piece of heart art for yet another variation using a gradient background fill and the posterize filter in Photoshop. I think I might like it better than the original. The colors remind me of the Haitian voodoo art by Edouard Duval-Carrie who I’m a fan of.

Your art always warms my heart…gives me a smile…and even sends shivers down my spine. So I guess your mission is accomplished: you have touched a soul in more ways than one.
Great to know your art is “out there,” touching so many people. I LOVE the term “sweetheart shuffle,” almost sounds like a new dance.
Big hugs always,
Mudd a.k.a. Oza
