You may know him better as Faris Rotter.
However a name is just a name so let us mosey on past that.
APRIL 77 – a favorite of mine – has the first ever online exhibit of his sketchings and scrawlings. I personally am a fan of pen and ink. Maybe you are too. Take a gander at their gallery and you may just find out.

Dark Roast Blend has a lovely post about the art of carving up books. Part of me wants to cry when I think of butchering up a could be literary gem; I would say that feeling quickly resides when I see these amazing works that were created from them.
In the photo above Brian Dettmer creates a foss-ilized book; or rather a books-ilized fossil.

Coming straight out of your tap.
This brilliant piece of work was done by Rafael Morgan. A designer that to say “I’m impressed with” is an understatement. You can find out more about this innovative designs at his site or to see this design and others like it you can go to his partner site Studio Mango.

You did didn’t you?
You thought I forgot all about my little scrawlings here.
Well I didn’t… and might I further add I have not forgotten many a thing;
Just as I have forgotten many a thing.
It’s really quite complicated.
Right, so let’s concentrate on what I haven’t forgotten and give me something to write.
Babar! That is one name I soon wont forget.
There is currently an exhibit of original drawings by Laurent de Brunhoff, the creator of the fantastical little elephant. Seeing as this is at The Morgan Library and Museum in New York it’s quite the trek for me across this vast country – Kerouac would agree as much. However, I know of many a man and woman going to CMJ… why not take a little peak at your childhood?
