Escapist Findings
illustrated police news


after reading "the amazing adventures...", i wanted to stretch my own escapist experience a bit so went over to the British Library's image search to see what they'd have on the history of comics. i didn't find much about superman, but this is fascinating...

maybe old news to any english boy and girl, but i don't have much of an understanding of victorian newspapers, their circulation, production and consumption... so being suddenly exposed to a well-crafted tabloid such as the "illustrated police news" from saturday sept 22, 1888 makes my brain jump and want to know more.

You could have it so much better
rodchenko poster
Nah, I like Franz Ferdinand's graphics, but this one's super class: Alexandr Rodchenko's poster from the 1920's (advertising books, not CD's).

Things that make you laugh when you're really down
Graphics: Francois Chalet. His v. dysfunctional homepage doesn't come up with my favorite illu: 'Am I Real?'... Homevideos: Ze Frank's Rockin Out. Friends couldn't share my humour at all... Blogs: Query Letters I Love. I've lost too many nights on this one.
