Here's the actual woman who posed for
this famous WW2 poster. Fondly known
as Rosie the riveter, her real name is
Betty Gore. She's 88 and looking great
(wouldn't you say?).

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

I hung that picture in my laundry room for inspiration (laundry is just slightly less heroic a job than making machinery for war). I was recently pleased to find out that my great aunt was a Rosie the Riveter. Makes me proud somehow.
Our heros
