The Virtuosity of N.C. Mallory Posted 7 hours ago
I don’t use the word “virtuoso” lightly but, after browsing the Flickr portfolios of N.C. Mallory, no other word seems adequate. Mr. Mallory is a painter, illustrator, writer, and teacher.

My personal favorites are his self-portraits (seen ... [Link]

The Tale of How book Posted 35 hours ago
I’ve written before about The Tale of How, a short, wonderfully original animation by The Blackheart Gang, featuring the artwork of Ree Treweek. I’ve also talked about Shy the Sun, a commercial production company featuring members of the Blackheart Gang, including Treweek and Jannes Hendrikz, which has been producing marvelously eccentric ads for companies like United Airlines and Bakers Precious ...

Who was Abner Graboff? I had no idea. So, I decided to find out on my own.

Eden Skateboard Posted 3 days ago
Skating has always seemed to me a courageous activity, and what is courage but an absence of shame. Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden, pitiful in their nakedness, shameful in their new knowledge. However, the rise of science made man and nature transparent, naked again under a microscope and scalpel. We adorn ourselves with knowledge, hiding our private selves ... [Link]

Recently I had to hire a production artist. We posted the job on a number of hot job sites and got over 150 replies. I ... [Link]
