Make A World

I'm exited for this documentary about Ed Emberley's famous "Make A World" book.

To raise money for the film, they're selling t-shirts designed by Wire and Twine including every illustration in the book. I really want one!

Running With Scissors

I read this book yesterday. I was at a Christmas Brunch with my family this weekend, and my stepmother suggested I read it, she said it would remind me of my own family. It was good, but also put me in a bad mood.

Interestingly, there was a lawsuit brought against the author by the family portrayed in the book, even though he changed their names.


"The defamation lawsuit filed against St. Martin’s Press and Augusten Burroughs by the Turcotte family for the author’s characterization of the clan in his bestselling memoir Running with Scissors has been settled, with both sides claiming at least partial victory."

“How can we have missed these beautiful compositions?”

This is work by Carmen Herrera, a 94-year old artist who is finally being discovered by the art world. The NY Times just ran an article on her: At 94, She’s the Hot New Thing in Painting.


"Last year, MoMA included her in a pantheon of Latin American artists on exhibition. And this summer, during a retrospective show in England, The Observer of London called Ms. Herrera the discovery of the decade, asking, “How can we have missed these beautiful compositions?”"

How indeed.
