Meg Hunt and other illustration heavyweights pay tribute to their favorite kids books in The Picture Book Report. Like an open-source Terrible Yellow Eyes, this growing compendium re-introduces you to books your younger-you loved and dazzles with its range of style and tone. Hopefully we’ll see a book out of this, too.
While geeks are flocking to Blippy to see what their purchases say about them, Portland’s Kate Bingaman-Burt has taken a decidedly low-tech approach to reminiscing about what her buying patterns look like. Obsessive Consumption is a painstaking reconstructive sketch of 3 years of purchases that document the artist’s outward expenses and inward behavior. Unlike the generic and beveled charts from expense software that seem significant but say nothing, Bingaman-Burt’s playful voice and honesty reveal truths about all of us and our relationship to the things we buy. Un-ironically, you’ll have to buy this in order to be fully satisfied by what it has to say.
