I got behind on my Google Reader feeds. In an attempt to play catch up, I decided to bookmark some of the ones that caught my eye and post them here as way to expand beyond just my own work.
1. Refurbishing old books- This is a nice illustrated how-to to either bookmaking or rebinding a book that’s falling apart.
2.Chris Berens: “The White Ones”- one of my favorite contemporary artists right now. Some of his process is documented. I enjoy how much care he puts into the characters and their rendering.
3. Stella Im Hultberg’s moleskine sketchbook- I think after seeing this, I enjoy her sketchbooks more than her paintings. I’m drawn to her linework and less polished, more stream-of-conscious ideas.
4. If wikipedia was a bound book- This probably passed through the internet already, but I like the hilarity of this visual. I imagine it was a bookbinder’s nightmare.
5. Silhouette Masterpiece Theater- I’ve seen this often on FFFFound, but I enjoy the blend of comedy with the victorian silhouettes. Makes me wish I thought of it first.
6. Linomation- This is one of those pieces where I think I would pull my hair out at the idea of producing it. It’s an animation created with linoleum relief prints. Already, hand drawn animation can be a labor. Add to that carving and printing the individual prints as the animation frames and it seems to be three times the effort. Pure craziness.
