Due to flu, I've been offline for a few days, effectively accumulating a few thousand spam emails in my mail accounts.

I'm not back on my feet, but I'm back in my seat, updating web sites and drawing funny pictures.

Unused artwork fro Allen Freeman's Slam Bang comic.
The original idea was to shoot for a "Beatles" theme but it got
too weird. And why is Lennon holding that Fender Strat? Imagine... it's an Epiphone!

Robert Lawson, Illustrator 1936

FERDINAND
Written by Munro Leaf, Illustration by Robert Lawson
Originally published 1936

Robert Lawson's beautifully constructed ink drawings for the 1936 children's book about the mild-mannered bull forced into the ring are a marvel of black and white. Using cross-hatching and a sense of deep shadow and high white contrast, Lawson's illos are each individually composed for the most impact as stand alone pictures, but they also convey the story and add atmosphere that is not present in the text.

Buy used from amazon.com for about $1.75

Art Deco Architecture:

The Bacardi Building in Havana, Cuba
The architects were Esteban Rodriguez Castell, Rafael Fernandez Ruenes, and Jose Menendez Menendez. Built 1930.
From photo 36 of the book.

Havana
By Hans Engel
Published 1999 by Prestel.

This is a beautiful book, chock full of photographs of aged (and often decrepit) buildings from the heyday of Art Deco. Havana is like a showplace museum of 20th century architecture that shuddered to a stop after the Castro dictatorship got started in 1959. The architectural construction that has happened since then that I have seen in photographs seems to be big Soviet style concrete buildings, excepting the hotels that have been built since Cuba opened up (slightly) in the 1990s for tourism. Neither of these latter two styles make any showing in this book of photography, instead it is a catalog of history and atmosphere captured by Hans Engel's lens.
