How the WordPress Artist Themes work
All Artbiz WordPress themes for artists’ are built on a Parent themes. I like working with a parent themes because it makes it easy to update the code for all the themes just once. Bonus for me. The BONUS for you is that you get TWO themes, the parent and the child and can chose to activate either one. Read more about what the relationship between a parent and child theme.
All David themes as of version 2.0 provide you with the ability to change the fonts for the header site title and the entry title for pages and posts. Also as of 2.0 you can change the link color.

How the New WordPress Artist Themes got their names
Well if you’re an artist you’ve probably already figured that out. I decided to name the themes after famous works of art and artists. David, for example, is named after Michelangelo’s David. Cassatt after artist Mary Cassatt, and so on.

Red Square
When in the active state a red background appears behind the menu item.
There is a small 250 x 100 pixel header image that you can change by uploading your own logo image. The header text can be removed if your logo image contains your text by adding display:none; to the CSS selector for the site-title and site-description in the style.css in the theme directory.
