A Journey Around My Skull is mainly about artwork for books, but might include Polish poster art aswell. Tons of stuff. The guy is really dedicated. The most recent post is part 3 of a series on Iranian children’s book. Beautiful!
“Unhealthy book fetishism from a reader, collector, and amateur historian of forgotten literature.” Recent obsessions: illustration and graphic design.
Decode: Digital Design Sensations showcases the latest developments in digital and interactive design, from small, screen-based, graphics to large-scale interactive installations. The exhibition includes works by established international artists and designers such as Daniel Brown, Golan Levin, Daniel Rozin, Troika and Karsten Schmidt. The exhibition features both existing works and new commissions created especially for the exhibition.
The V&A has commissioned Karsten Schmidt to design a digital identity for the Decode exhibition using open source code. They are giving you the opportunity to recode Karsten’s work and create your own original artwork. If they love your work it could even become the new Decode identity.
Happy coding. 8 December 2009 – 11 January 2010. As it happens to be, I’m in London during this time. Must go see.

Olympus Bioscapes is an international photo competition that honors the world’s most extraordinary microscope images of life science subjects. The image above came sixth in this years competition. It’s an Arabidopsis thaliana, just so you know.
I’m in a dark mood today. Must be the lack of sunlight. The sun was supposed to be up between 9.29 and 14.49, but who knows. Utsjoki has been dark for about 2 weeks now and the next chance to see the sun, is around the 15th of January. So I suppose we living in Helsinki are quite well off. Desiree Dolrons images fits right in.
Sci-Fi-O-Rama is once again one of my favorites. I thought they had disappeared, but apparently they just changed their url and hosting. But anyway this site, as some of the ones a I have mentioned before, is just jam-packed with good stuff. It’s pretty much about all things sci-fi and psychedelica. From old pinball machine graphics to record sleves by Hipgnosis.
