    I just took a look at the work of McTeigue and McClelland and, you
    are right, it is masterful. It has no resemblance to the one piece by
    another designer that was pictured in the New York Times article. The
    Times article describes the designer as follows: 

>     Judy Geib, a graphic designer, who has a studio near a huge

    Here is the link to the article with the picture: 

    http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/27/fashion/thursdaystyles/27GEMS.html 

    Do take a look at the picture and I think that you will agree with my
    characterization. 

Joel
