Saturday Review


I'm thinking of posting photos from the week on Saturdays. On Sundays I post what I'm reading and I find I really like a certain post on the weekends to look forward to. It's also harder to post on the weekends because my family's here and things are more confusing. So, this really works for me.

On top, Henry pulled a Tin Tin book off the shelf and was going through it and describing it out loud He was by himself so I walked in on him doing this. I thought it was pretty great.

The bottom two pictures are from Thursday night when we went to an art opening at PM Gallery, in the west end. After a while we went for a stroll to see all the little shops.

I read some great articles yesterdays and I wanted to share the links with you. First is a really interesting comparison of the 80's movie Labyrinth and Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The idea that spectacle is cheap really resonated with me. It's cheap and it's forgettable.

Second is a Scientific American post on why illustrators need to proactively remain relevant online.

And finally is a link to a cover I coloured for Top Shelf called Underwire, by Jennifer Hayden. I'll post the cover soon but you can see a small version of it here. I love her art.
