Edward Tufte Posted 9 hours ago
Visual art is often presented as something that exists in its purest form “for art’s sake”, removed from any purpose other than to exist as art, sometimes seen as a rare and noble sort of abstracted “expression” of something. This is the impression that is glibly, and I believe wrongly, put forth by the 20th Century Modernist art theorists; whose ... [Link]

The Virtuosity of N.C. Mallory Posted 19 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. His work spans the gamut from landscapes to portraiture, inks to oils, academic to experimental. All of it is executed with courageous excellence. My personal favorites are his self-portraits (seen ... [Link]

The Tale of How book Posted 47 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 ...

Abner Graboff Posted 2 days ago
Who was Abner Graboff? I had no idea. So, I decided to find out on my own. Artist, illustrator & designer with a career that spanned several decades, from the 1940’s to the 80’s, Abner was best known for creating some of the most ingenious and vibrant children’s books during the mid-century era. But you’d never know it. There was ... [Link]

Penguin Group Logo Develpment Posted 3 days ago
I found this history of the Penguin Group logos (1935 – 2005) in the back of a great book - ‘Penguin by Design: A Cover Story 1935 – 2005’ by Phil Baines and published by Penguin Group.It's really interesting seeing the development over the 70 years of such iconic logos, so I’ve put them in chronological order to make it ...

I even use some of them still, ... [Link]

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]

Bad Art Job Interviews. Posted 3 days ago
I hate interviewing. WHY? Because every artist I interview scares the crap out of me. Seriously. If I hire you and a month later your a dud, I lose a month of production. That’s expensive. 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]
