Links on a Thursday

Some quick links for this Thursday afternoon

More Yearbook Projects
I’m thrilled with the positive reception to my crazy yearbook project. I mailed nearly 40 books today, each with a drawing inside, and the orders continue to roll in slowly, so thanks to everyone! Now, I am not the first person obsessive compulsive enough to attempt an exercise like this.  John Ralston’s The Liner, was the first such project I was aware of, and here are two others: Joshua Bienko’s The Girls of Delta Zeta, and most recently, The Beauty of Graduation by Justin White.  I’m glad I’m not the only one with this obsession.

Cardiggins
Looking for greeting cards? My good friend Becca has started making cards with calm, reflective photographs on them: Cardiggins.  Perfect for when you want to say, “Happy Birthday,” but also, “Relax, pal.”

Logo Design Love
I helped judge the Logo Design Love Awards, a competition for blog logos, and you can check out the winners, and read my commentary.

Plagiarized Illustration Book
This is disgusting: Darren Di Lieto was tipped off that hundreds of illustrators’ work and the interviews he conducted with them for the LCS have been plagiarized in a book. I’ve been interviewed by Darren as well, but it looks like the book was published before then, so my work escaped the poaching. Darren has photos of each page of the book. Ugh.
