Like ffffound (for the rest of us): “We Heart It is a social bookmarking tool for images and videos. We see many great images on blogs and websites around, and now you can put everything you saw and liked on the same page to look again whenever you want.” (Thanks Chris Glass!)

“In 1996, Supreme Court Justice David Souter told a congressional panel that ‘the day you see a camera come into our courtroom, it’s going to roll over my dead body.’ While the controversy over whether or not cameras should be allowed in courtrooms rages on, sketch artists remain fairly non-controversial, covering even the most important trials. The general public sees their artwork on the news, online, and in print. These artists see the trials for us, and often their artwork is our only glimpse into the proceedings.

I found myself wondering who these artists are….

(Thanks Waxy!)

This is making the rounds but it is pretty great, especially #6 and #7. (Thanks kottke.org!)

“Ninety-six printmakers of all experience levels, have joined together to produce 118 prints in any medium; woodcut, linocut, monotype, etching, lithograph, silkscreen, or any combination. The end result is a periodic table of elements intended to promote both science and the arts.” (Thanks Boing Boing!)

“Don’t know really. Started out as something, ended up many other things. I’ve been eating a lot of figs recently. They’re good and ripe right now.”

In other words, this is a Flickr set of scans of someone’s wonderfully odd sketchbook.

“When living in Japan, Fiona Harding created a project called 100 Post Its in Japan, and now wants to spread the urban guerilla art love with the world by inviting everyone to participate in a global Post-It Note Project.”

“I spent some time Saturday afternoon in Chelsea looking at a couple shows that I’ve been meaning to see for a while. I was pleasantly impressed with the painted maps by Paula Scher and somewhat underwhelmed by the theatrics that surrounded the collection of work from Banksy.”

Fun-looking mail art project.

“Brian Dettmer carves into books revealing the artwork inside, creating complex layered three-dimensional sculptures.” (Thanks Airbag!)

“If you talk to any mother who no longer has school aged children, they will tell you how they long for the quiet, simple days, when their children used to give them works of art they created with their own tiny hands and a box of crayons… As time passed those works of art became misplaced, or even thrown out. Now there is a way to preserve these memories forever, with the permanence of sterling silver. Create a heirloom that can be passed from generation to generation, with your own Child Artwork Pin.”

“It is my privilege and pleasure to announce that a book based on the this humble website is now in release and available for purchase by the general public…

As you might expect, the book features eclectic and rare book illustrations derived from many digital repositories, accompanied by some background commentary. It is not simply a regurgitation of what is here in the archives, although about two thirds of the images have appeared on the site previously.”

“Michael Fallon presents the interesting idea that creativity–or at least the mandate for it–can create boredom, discontent, depression, and a lot of cruddy work. Agree? Disagree?” (Thanks fimoculous!)

“I put together this list of my favorite figure drawing, sketching and anatomy books for fellow artists and student friends. You can download any and all of these books for free. I hope you’ll find them useful.”

“Welcome to The Museum of Forgotten Art Supplies… where tools of the trade that have died or have just about died a slow slow death are cheerfully exhibited. Due to severe government budget cuts to the arts, our little museum’s acquisition funds are frankly, well, bupkus. So, we welcome Drawgerers to submit images of any artistic tools, machinery, gadgets, etc. that they feel have bitten the dust.” (Thanks Chris Glass!)

“An experiment to exploit the single frames that make up an animated film and explore the emotions of the creative process. Created with 987 Polaroids and no computer compositing. By Jordan C Greenhalgh.”
