Anna Fine Foer, Tower of Babble                                           
“Cell phones fill window and door openings of a traditional image of the Tower of Babel.  The builders were proud of the most advanced technology used for the construction of the tower (baking bricks) just as we are proud of our technological advances.  These innovations are a distraction that permeates our culture and there is no stopping them.
 The multi-coloured, ephemeral shapes in the background are made of maps of American cell phone connectivity.”

Jim Doran, The Ghoul and the Grackles, 2011

His work is so clever and wonderful, I would love to have a draw filled with all these art boxes.

Ever look down at a drawing you just completed and think to yourself ‘wow, this would be so much cooler if it looked 100 years older?’ Of course you have! Well, why don’t you just turn on the oven to 350, soak your drawing in milk (I recommend painting it on with a brush), and bake it on a cookie sheet for ten minuets. Remember to pick up the paper and remove any excess milk on the baking sheet so the paper doesn’t stick to the baking sheet! It’s one of my favorite things to do in my free time. Different ink and paper combinations result in different looks, like above is rice paper and Pigma brush pens. They get this cool brown outline. Anyway, try it out! And if you get something cool, post it to me, I freaking love aged stuff.

In typography class yesterday my teacher showed us this TED Talk and discussed how doodling is wicked productive, and people can actually learn more if they are allowed to doodle. It’s a really cool concept. And one that is completely untrue for me. I decided to doodle during English class today. I don’t know what the hell happened in class. But I kinda like the doodle. Plus, I know that a lot of people listen better when they doodle. So… doodle on, friends.
