Tuesday, May 21, 2013

‘Daddy, how do you actually finish any of these?’
‘When there’s a deadline.

When there’s a deadline there’s also a destination, a context, a reason for something and that’s what makes me finish it. Up until that point it’s an experiment. It’s sitting in my shelf and [...]

What The World Needs Now

Wednesday, February 20, 2013

It’s funny, but this latest gif paradise called The Anthropocene Man somehow seems to be the most accurate portrayal of life (and death) in early 2013. Also, and quite unrelated: RIP online dating scam master Tim Dog.

THE BOOK COVER ARCHIVE

Friday, August 3, 2012

Book covers, in Germany, are mostly something to be ashamed of, for no good reason – it’s really inexplicable why virtually all German publishers have such appalling taste in design, or presume their readers to have.
