Poster design – Christian Broutin
Got turned onto the work of Christian Broutin by the folks at Mubi.
From Mubi…
A few months ago I came across another great poster attributed to Broutin and in my search for a better quality image for the poster I discovered his website (“Welcome to the site of Christian Broutin, maxi-realist painter, illustrator, creator of stamps”) which told me that Christian Broutin is alive and well, now aged 78, living outside Paris and still a working illustrator. I emailed him and we struck up a conversation—me in my broken French—about his life and work.

Brian Dettmer – book sculptures
Using knives, tweezers and surgical tools, Brian Dettmer carves one page at a time. Nothing inside the out-of-date encyclopedias, medical journals, illustration books, or dictionaries is relocated or implanted, only removed.
Dettmer manipulates the pages and spines to form the shape of his sculptures. He also folds, bends, rolls, and stacks multiple books to create completely original sculptural forms.
“My work is a collaboration with the existing material and its past creators and the completed pieces expose new relationships of the book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception,” he says.

Jonathan Harris – Today
Jonathan Harris’ work centers on memory. We Feel Fine was a powerful data viz project that captured memories by crawling the web for the phrase “I feel” or “I’m feeling” the result was a stunning and moving project. Now Jonathan has a new project entitled Today.
From youtube:
When Jonathan Harris ( http://number27.org ) turned 30, he began a simple ritual of taking one photo a day and posting it to his website before going to sleep, along with a short story. He called this project, ‘Today’.

Colorbind an artful weave
Recently stumbled upon Colorbind, an artful game for the iphone / ipod touch. It’s a fun and mellow app where gameplay involves connecting dots as you weave color strips together using your finger. A nice feature is the ability to save the ribbon art you create while playing.
