Moonrise on dog walk.

The moon, looking kind of like a glowing sun (and the same size), sitting atop the mountains in the distance against a pinkish blue sky.

This was a fun error to see in Mountain Gazette, given their commitment to print and the physical object.

Photo of a misprint in the magazine Mountain Gazetted, the page didn’t get trimmed and instead is folded back showing the crop marks and file name.

Wrapping up spooky weekend. Not ordinarily my kind of thing, but recall liking it enough that I bought the (attractively priced) new collection rather than digging issues out from the short boxes.
Cover of The Red Mother graphic novel.

Locust leaves pretty much all collectively noped out in last night’s freeze.

Mostly the bluish gray of the dusk sky with a touch of orange in the bottom right; kiva ladders against a adobe structure with the sliver of a crescent moon above.

Sunset over the water, thin yellow above a strip of lights surrounded by the dark blue of the clouds and the ocean. Sugar cookies in the shape of black cats with green eyes strewn across a pan. A small waterfall flowing surrounded by trees of various fall colors. A lone yellow leaf floats in a dark pond surrounded by blurry reflections of trees and branches.

2/3
All kinds of power and communcation lines converging on a pole, the top balconies of a house visible in the background. John Singer Sargent’s “El Jaleo” in its stone alcove at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Musuem. Looking up at a multicolored light installation projected on the inside of a dome, swirling reds against white spotted purple with the dome window green. At the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, the marble curtain wall glowing with bit of light, the grid of lights on the ceiling, and the central core of historic books in its metal and glass enclosure.

In the fencing club parking lot the other night. No, I don’t know.

A Model T pickup kind of thing, maybe later model though it’s rusty and dusty, but looking good all things considered, turning around in a light industrial space parking lot.

OK, since: 1. the topic of Brazzaville Beach came up in a chat; B. I wanted to share that Chip Kidd anecdote about designing the cover; III. unable to find it online, I had to dig out the Print magazine issue and, in photographing cracked the spine — I’m posting […]

An article from book designer Chip Kidd talking about the difficulties designing a book cover for Brazzaville Beach where one of the directives was “NO CHIMPANZEES.” The conclusion of the article by book designer Chip Kidd where he sees the mass market version of Brazzaville Beach cover featuring a chimpanzee; shown in the article along with the mass market version of The Secret History cover as well.

Wrapped up the album design package around this time last year, but never saw Sons of Town Hall live until last night at Unit B — they’re such fun performers, it was a great time. Cover artist Matthew Hasty was there as well, got to meet and chat with him for the […]

The Sons of Town Hall, in their ratty 19th century outfits, strum guitars and sing into microphones under purple stage lighting.
