Regular yellowtrace readers (are not only the sexiest bunch around, they would also) know about my weakness for quotes. And pretty pictures. Combining the two is sheer genius which rates quite highly on my “extreme love” scale. These clever illustrations are by the talented San Francisco based Wendy MacNaughton, who documented this year’s 99% Conference.

99% is Behance’s annual conference about “making ideas happen”. The name for the conference was inspired by Thomas Edison famous quote which states that “Genius is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration.”

Yep. Extreme love all-around!
