Block Type on Novel covers
found on So Much Pileup, these book covers are an interesting take on novels that are so well known, they have their own style and they don't really need a cover.

this might be interesting...
the Anonymous Gallery has a current exhibit through the 24th that pairs pieces by influencial artists and their contemporary counterparts:
"Anonymous Gallery is proud to combine three generations of prolific artists whose work has been influenced by, or has directly influenced popular culture, design, and the urban environment. The Piece Process will unite relevant artists with their contemporary counterparts through artwork that serves as a reference or an impetus to something larger or more complete. Anonymous Gallery will exhibit unique pieces of art in the form of sketchbook drawings and original works on paper or found objects from over 30 established and emerging artists exhibiting in New York. The exhibition intends to create discourse in regard to artists who have not only influenced one another, but society through their use of iconography, collage, pen, paint, and print.
In conjunction with the exhibition, Anonymous Gallery, will also be hosting weekly workshops for children. Artists Todd James, Leon Reid, Michael De Feo, Maya Hayuk, Ellis Gallagher, among others, will teach the workshops.
In the spirit of giving, portions of the proceeds raised will go to benefit Public Art for Public Schoolshttp://schools.nyc.gov/Offices/SCA/Programs/PAPS/default.htm. For additional information, workshop schedules, or to make a reservation, please contact - events[at]anonymousgallery[dot]com."

Ignaz Semmelweis & Mária Weidenhoffer's wedding portrait
Semmelweis was the first doctor/medical student to discover the relationship germs had to the spread of disease and high mortality rates, especially in obstetrics. he was run out of town and ended up dying from infection related to abuse in a mental asylum, ironically. his work was only taken seriously once louis pasteur wrote his "germ theory of disease." his wedding portrait to maria weidenhoffer is beautiful.

the new york adorned website
i have noticed, shopping around for tattoo studios, that many tattoo studio websites are not really well designed and many don't blend tattoo imagery with clean design. the new york adorned website, however, is an exception. the site is so clean and the type the designers used is a blend of beautiful script and clean sans-serif. it makes sense that one of the most well-known studios in new york has a good looking website.
