Well, we're back after our holiday hiatus. So with a stretch of the arms, an arch of the back and a wee bit of a yawn, we're back to work, slaving over a hot keyboard.

We're looking forward to an exciting 2005 filled with great nuggets you can use to build a better practice, make more money and retire to a white sandy beach, sipping coconut drinks with those little umbrellas. Ah ... the sound of steel drums playing in the background, while gentle sea breezes ... Oooops. My bad. I got carried away.

But, we do wish you all the best in 2005.

The Savvy Designer's Guide to Business by CL's own evangelist, Jeff Fisher, is our newest feature. If you haven't already nabbed a copy of this little gem, it's well worth the price of admission. The book is chock full of great insights for numerous designers along with tips and information to, as the sub-title states, create a killer career in graphic design.

But please don't forget our archived F.P.'s: Von Glitscka, Habib Bajrami and Jeff Fisher.
