642 things to draw

642 things to draw looks neat. available here.

there's a challenge on chronicle's blog. fun!

Can you draw the internet?

Children today are growing up in a world of technology and communications. They have never experienced a world without the internet, with every part of their day consumed by mobile phones, websites, computer games, apps, Xbox, you name it.

We took this thought and 'thought' it would be interesting to find out what their perception of the internet actually is, by way of scribble, drawing, or piece of art.

Then, to make things even more interesting we thought it would be great to get the creative industry involved. Why? To find out who's the more creative. The industry with all of it's wisdom, or the kids with their vivid imaginations.

Anyway, we'd love it if you could spare a few seconds, minutes or even hours to get something down on paper, no matter how basic.

salty slurp

i've cut myself off and i can no longer purchase anything that requires a frame until i've framed what i have.

1. it's been raining a fair amount here lately and suddenly my knee has started to get stiff before it rains. it's tight right now and i just checked the weather. yep, i knew it -- rain tomorrow night. does this mean i have arthritis? (and, i'd like to venture a guess that weather.com is wrong and it will rain before tomorrow night. i'm just sayin.')

2. love these ceramic bows

from christine buckton tillman. i love everything she does. check out her flickr. her drawing collection is amazing.

Herb Lubalin (1918–1981) is best known for his wildly illustrative typography and his groundbreaking work for the magazines Avant Garde, Eros, and Fact.

On view in Cooper Union’s new gallery, the installation includes recent posters, publications, and motion graphics by internationally recognized graphic designers that spotlight an emerging trend toward expressive lettering and typography.

Original sketches, magazines, logotypes, and posters selected from the Lubalin Center Archive will illuminate Lubalin’s influence on contemporary graphic design.
