Names

I don't really pay much attention to names unless it really stands out. From the art that I like to the papers in science journals that I read, I can't readily cite names associated with certain works. I'm just not a name person. This being the case, imagine my pleasant surprise when I saw that Lou Romano (one of the people who had their work on exhibit at Nucleus for the "Band of Bugs" show) had his concept art in the book "The Art of The Incredibles". I have flipped through this book many times, mind you. I never stopped to catch the names of the artists though. The only reason why I recognized Romano's name was because Amanda Visell links to him and sometimes speaks appraisingly of his work. I've heard accounts that Franklin Delano Roosevelt used to have an uncanny ability to perfectly recall people's names. It was said that he would mentally spell a person's name on their forehead in his favorite color whenever he met someone. Quite impressive. Me? I'm not much of a name person.
