So I'm sitting home alone. Watching Iron Chef America on my dvr (Battle Almond!). And an overwhelming urge just hit me. The urge to conduct a Google search using the search term "flourishes". This is perfectly normal, right? Right??
Anyway, I found a cool blog post from Andrew at www.myinkblog.com in which he gives detailed, step-by-step instructions for creating your own swirls and flourishes in Illustrator. Way to bring The Awesome to my Tuesday night, Andrew!
