The work of Americans for the Arts Artists Committee and renowned contemporary artist Jeff Koons is featured as today’s Google Doodle. It also marks the launch of the iGoogle Artists project, which allows users to customize their iGoogle homepages with original designs by artists from around the globe. Read more about the project here: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/where-art-thou.html.

Google’s webmaster, Dennis Hwang, is the artist behind the semi-regular designs that uses site’s logo to commemorate holidays, historic events, and famous birthdays. Business Week profiled Hwang in June: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/07_25/b4039088.htm.
