Book by its cover

A fanTASTIC website about book design and illustration… I’ve barely scratched the surface of it, but already I have found two things I am in love with:

These illustrations just call to me, for some reason. Beautiful. It’s from the limited edition book by Los Angeles artist Ami Tallman called There Weren’t Many Girls Around, So We Dated Ideologies. This Left Us Always on the Brink of War. We Often Discussed That a Likely Result of Battle Would Have Been More Girls to Go Around Amongst the Survivors, but We Quibbled Rather Than Acted, & Slept Alone in Our Cold Beds Dreaming of Glory. You got that?? I just love that art, though – it really speaks to me.

And then this book – which would have absolutely OBSESSED me as a child. What a great idea!

Okay three … check out these images!

    I Love these images! I’m also completely eaten up with jealousy since book illustration is my dream job.
