New Editors at Fuel Your Illustration!

Friday, August 27th, 2010 in Press, Team

Illustration-NikkiFuel Your Illustration is proud to welcome Nikki Jeske and Rondal Scott III into their new roles as Co-Editors.

Nikki and Rondal are not completely new faces; they have both been regular contributors to Fuel Your Illustration since around the beginning of the year. Both of them will share the editing and running of the site, as well as still contributing articles.

rondalBoth are web designers by trade, and certainly know a thing or two about illustrating and making your websites, logos and anything else you like looking awesome. Nikki works from Design Coyote and Rondal through GhostlabDS. Both are self-confessed Twitter addicts, follow them both here and here.

When they’re not creating awesome web design and working on Fuel Your Illustration, Rondal indulges his inner-child at his site Strange Kids Club, and Nikki draws, draws, draws – especially dogs! – over at The Family Menagerie.

Everyone at the FUEL Network wishes them the best of luck in taking Fuel Your Illustration from strength to strength!

The project team is made up from various volunteers who all desire to see jQuery, a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML documents traversing, event handling and animating, become the best JavaScript tool possible.

Doug specializes in jQuery enhancements and front-end design, recently sharing his expert advice on the jQuery Widget Factory UI on Microsoft’s new Script Junkie blog. He joins the jQuery Project as part of their Infrastructure and Design Team. He will be helping to design and maintain the jQuery online properties, which include http://jquery.com and http://jqueryui.com.

In Doug’s own words: “I just really respect the team, so to be a part of it is so tremendously awesome!”
