I've been utilizing stamping/printing for collage purposes.

Moths! Bees! Flowers! I've been experimenting with placement for later prints.

I’ve been currently printing/cutting a lot the past two weeks. I also have been working in my sketchbook. Next post might show that.

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.

I’ll try to add to this over the course of the summer and beyond. It’ll motivate me more to check up on my google reader.
