December 12th: Weekly Design Links
“Things do not change; we change.” — Henry David Thoreau
This week’s links are all over the place. This is kind of how I like them best–wide ranging influences and skills, crafts and styles from far and wide. I hope something in here hits you and gives you the energy to make something new.
