From the Bookshelf

This week's book is Blackstock's Collections by Gregory Blackstock. A fascinating little volume of drawings. Mr. Blackstock is an artistic savant who makes lists of types of things. But his lists are detailed, accurate drawings.

It is fascinating to browse through the book and see "Crows of the World", "Tools" "British Bombers of WWII" and dozens and dozens of others. I picked mine up at Two Hands Paperie in Boulder and perusing it made the plane trip home delightful. Mr. Blackstock's work is shown at the Garde Rail Gallery in Seattle.

    I LOVE this book and it's inspiring look into obsessive drawing.
    A great reminder to just pick up the dang pen and DO IT!
