It occurred to me last night that this little head is seen by more people each day than anything else I’ve ever drawn. It’s the default Tumblr avatar. For years I shared the same office space with David Karp, the wonderkind Internet entrepreneur. In April 2007, he walked over to my desk and asked me to design a little head logo for this new application he was building called “Tumblr.” I drew a couple versions and he picked one.  It’s still the default avatar (for the time being!) I certainly didn’t realize how huge Tumblr would get or that I’d end up hosting my entire website on it. Tumblr is AWESOME!
