Book Cover Archive

ReadyMade magazine mentioned this interesting site:
http://bookcoverarchive.com/

I love well-designed book covers. I'm hoping they also catalog nice embossed hardcovers (without the dust jacket).

New Stuffed Animals

JP and I made some stuffed animals. They are now in the arms of some very rambunctious 3-year olds - (hopefully they'll last!):

Upcoming: Monster Drawing Rally

Hey folks, I just got a 8-9pm slot at the 10th Annual Monster Drawing Rally at the Verdi Club. It's a fundraiser for Southern Exposure and should be a fun time. I'll have an hour to make a piece (or more) that will be sold at the end of the hour for $60 each. I don't know if it's possible for me to make anything within an hour, so we'll see!

Niche

Hey all;
the fine folks at Niche magazine did a little piece on me in their newest issue:

Telegraph | Pigeons can tell good art from bad

Pigeons can tell the difference between a beautiful piece of art and a messy scribble, according to research.

Watch those jobs of yours, art critics. ;)

The Sky

Google Calendar has this "helpful" feature of guessing the location of your event.

Polaroid Mirror

It's silly and probably simple to recreate, but I still want one.

Quimby the Mouse

Fecal Face reminded me of the Chris Ware animated short I saw at the recent This American Life live event:

Quimby The Mouse from This American Life on Vimeo.

*sigh* I adore Chris Ware. (It's too bad he spelled my name wrong in one of the books he signed for me!)
