He loves NY

I saw a pretty good documentary tonight on the graphic designer and illustrator, who created the "I Love NY" logo. And he never earned a dime for it.

Milton lives in New York City but has had a second home in Woodstock for more than 40 years. He also designed the logos for the Bear Cafe in Woodstock, Grand Union supermarkets, Brooklyn Beer and tons of other stuff, including this iconic album cover for Bob Dylan, the image of which I got from www.woodstockfilmfestival.com:

Milton's not big on using the computer, but he does like the fact that his office window opens up to a school playground, so about noon each school day, the sounds of kids playing inspires him.

A good flick on somebody who seems like a good guy.
