LUKE PEARSON | ILLUSTRATION

I love this preview for a new series by Luke Pearson called Everything We Miss, which you can order through his website - lukepearson.com. I haven't picked up a copy yet but it's next on my list of things to read. Maybe on a beach in Mexico in August. I'm fairly new to Pearson's work but his work story telling feels less like a comic and speaks in a pop art fashion to the non-comic book reader in a great illustrated voice.

My New York Diary: A Film-Book by Julie Doucet and Michel Gondry

A long time fan of illustration and film, especially the work of Michel Gondry, this book and DVD are very exciting for me. This book is a collaboration between illustrator Julie Doucet and and Michel Gondry. In 2008, Gondry asked Doucet to make a film together. The book is about that process and inserts Doucet and her drawings into one narrative and an 18 minute film. It is available for purchase on Picturebox and according to the CoolHunting.com post I saw this at originally Gondry will be signing copies in LA on November 11. It's almost worth a trip south to LA.

Max Oppenheim and Black Hole

I have a long history of obsession with the illustrated medium. From pencils and crayons in elementary school, comic books in middle school and sharpies on walls in high school I still love the medium. As a photographer working digitally I love seeing artists recreate illustrated art into a photographic medium. Max Oppenheim and prosthetic artist Bill Turpin have taken the series Black Hole by Charles Burns and made the series that ended in 2005 relevant again in 2010.
