CMYK
The CMYK color model, referred to as process color or four color, is a subtractive color model, used in color printing, also used to describe the printing process itself. CMYK refers to the four inks used in most color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key black. Though it varies by print house, press operator, press manufacturer and press run, ink is typically applied in the order of the abbreviation.
The “K” in CMYK stands for key since in four-color printing cyan, magenta, and yellow printing plates are carefully keyed or aligned with the key of the black key plate. Some sources suggest that the “K” in CMYK comes from the last letter in "black" and was chosen because B already means blue. However, this explanation, though plausible and useful as a mnemonic, is incorrect.
The CMYK model works by partially or entirely masking certain colors on the typically white background (that is, absorbing particular wavelengths of light). Such a model is called subtractive because inks “subtract” brightness from white.
In additive color models such as RGB, white is the “additive” combination of all primary colored lights, while black is the absence of light. In the CMYK model, it is just the opposite: white is the natural color of the paper or other background, while black results from a full combination of colored inks. To save money on ink, and to produce deeper black tones, unsaturated and dark colors are produced by using black ink instead of the combination of cyan, magenta and yellow.

Oh, and to make this post Madonna-related, because it's been a while; the shoot instantly reminded me of this famous picture of Madonna by Herb Ritts.
NYC out of Memory
This astonishing 18ft drawing of the world’s most famous skyline was created by autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire after he spent just 20 minutes in a helicopter gazing at the panorama. The unbelievably intricate picture was drawn at Brooklyn’s prestigious Pratt Institute from Stephen’s memory, with details of every building sketched in to scale. Landmarks including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building can be seen towering above smaller buildings after just three days in his spellbinding.
Listening intently to his ipod throughout the artistic process (because music helps him), London-born Stephen uses only graphic pens as he commits his photographic memory to the high-grade paper.
Helvetica Marker
Get me a marker like that! And get me one fast!
Although a typeface of my own handwriting would be fun as well.

Big Brother in the Snow
I often hate the fact that so many places are secured with cameras, but I make an exception for Val Thorens. They have a webcam there which takes a picture every 15 minutes. And even better; they have an archive with all the images ever taken! So with some searching and some logical thinking I found this photo capturing Peter's first steps on skis. Cute!
