Absolutely true, the artwork drives the rest of the styling... this is=20=

in fact the reason I suggested this approach.  Once we've settled on a=20=

cool design concept, as represented by one of the masthead comps, then=20=

(a) we have some momentum, and (b) someone with the right skills +=20
motivations + access could complete a re-skinning of the site=20
essentially as an elaboration of a "theme" suggested by the new=20
masthead artwork.  For instance, I have enough design sensibility to do=20=

something like that, but I am not a graphic artist by any stretch of=20
the imagination, so I could never produce the artwork; I think this=20
community must have a lot of people like me in this regard, so if we=20
can get the "creative" aspect done by somebody with actual graphic arts=20=

talent+skills, there ought to be somebody who can take that and realize=20=
