As freelance artists in a time of pandemic drought, David Cowles and Josh Gosfield sensed it was time to put matters in their own hands. “Let’s not wait for art directors to give us jobs,” Cowles says, “let’s do something that we really love.” click to enlarge IMAGE PROVIDED The cover of Public Eye magazine.

Thereâs good news for Americans who packed on the pounds during the pandemic â skinny jeans are no longer in style.
Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Chip Bergh says consumers are getting away from the hipster-inspired look of at least the past decade.
âCycles do come and go,â he told CNBC. âI think the pandemic definitely played a contributing role to consumers looking for a more comfortable, more relaxing denim.â
According to Bergh, his denim-makerâs sales started last year were boosted by one new jean design that ballooned out at the bottom, and a second style that was loose fitting with a high-rise at the waist.

Dear Abby,
Iâm a young wife. I married after three months of dating my military husband. He was previously in an on-again/off-again relationship that lasted about eight years, during which she had a baby with another man, etc. I believe my husband is still in love with her. After constantly asking him, he says he just wishes her well and he doesnât have any romantic feelings. Iâm not sure what to do, and I just keep overthinking it. Any thoughts?
Hates Husbandâs History
Stop torturing your husband â and yourself â by constantly asking him about his feelings for his unfaithful ex-girlfriend. Get to work building your self-esteem, and you will have less to worry about. Your husbandâs history (baggage) is his own. You are making a mistake by dragging it into your marriage. If you concentrate on the positive, you will have a happier marriage, and so will your husband.
