Christien Meindertsma followed up on a pig (number 05049) after it’s death (by slaughter, needless to say). For three years she did research on the products made from one single pig and documented all 185 of them in her photo book. The pig had been shipped all around the world and among the products made was ammunition, medicine, photo paper, heart valves, brakes, chewing gum, porcelain, cosmetics, cigarettes, conditioner and bio diesel.

A Journey Around My Skull
December 10th, 2009
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.

Sci-Fi-O-Rama
December 9th, 2009
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.

But Does It Float & Space Collective
December 3rd, 2009
These both sites are filled with an immense amount of inspirational stuff. But does it float has a nice vibe to it and compared to fffound, Dropular or Buamai these images usually link to the creator behind the images. It’s curated buy Folkert Gorter and Atley G. Kasky. Folkert is apparently also one of the forces behind News Today, nowadays known as QBN. As for Space Collective it’s all about spacey, scientific and pseudo-scientific stuff.
