Not only does she have the internet’s best web address, Jennifer Daniel recently had the grace to join TMN as a contributing artist, and we are thankful.

You may have seen her work for Todd’s Levin’s series “Consoles I have Known”, or in that poster calendar your cubical mate bought, or perhaps in pretty much every section of the New York Times. Either way, we’re excited to say you’ll be seeing much more of her around these parts. Welcome, Jennifer.
