"Bag Envy" is one of two winning designs for the inaugural Green Eyed Monster competition, Live Enviably. We loved artist Bill Nagel's subtle, effective representation of our live enviably message. Here's what he had to say about his design and his life as an artist: "The idea for my image is two-fold. One is the obvious idea that cheap plastic bags would be envious of a nice tote bag. But the second and more important idea is that the more tote bags people use, the less plastic bags we will have filling up the environment. So the drawing shows how one tote bag has the potential to rid our landscape of many cheap plastic bags."

Bill Nagel is a full time architect and freelance illustrator living in Minnesota with his wife and 4 year old son. They are expecting their second child in May. In addition to illustration and architecture, he is also an independent filmmaker and the co-founder of Quantum Petshop, an independent production company.
