Art, Images, Design

13 pic­tures from the Women’s Bureau archives of women doing war work. The National Archives is mak­ing good use of Flickr. The slide shows are enter­tain­ing and the infor­ma­tion about the indi­vid­ual images are well cat­a­loged and well pre­sented. Best of both worlds.

It’s not in Eng­lish (yet) but dang do I want it to be. Car­toon Cook­ing. Illus­trated recipes and techniques.

Econ­omy, sim­plic­ity, time­li­ness. More of life should be as finely drawn as these line based por­traits done on the Tokyo trains.

A hand­ful of bril­liant open­ing cred­its for recent movies. (video — sound)

Another clas­sic children’s book. Aesop’s Fables with illus­tra­tions by Milo Win­ters.

We’ve almost made it. Just a lit­tle further.
