P.S - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Shave and a Haircut (Boom, Boom!)

Normally, I would be posting quite a bit later, but important surprising is afoot. We are officially announcing and unveiling that BNG has a new look!

At the bottom is the new blog header and the top is the new profile picture for Twitter. The middle of course is the hybrid. But best of all, it was completely hand drawn before I gave it a face lift. Below are the scanned hand drawn renderings I had put together. So really, I just enhanced the outlines and added color.

Voila, we have a gratifying new look and it's tres chic, very suave. Thanks for being a part of BNG, we hope for your continued viewership!
