Questing Vole Design: Consenting To Dream

http://questingvoledesign.blogspot.com/2010/03/consenting-to-dream.html

Saturday, March 13, 2010. An artist is a dreamer consenting to dream of the actual world. Ruben Toledo's cover illustrations almost. Make me want to read these crashing bores. ( ".if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.". Oh, what spellbinding phantasmagoria he could work with a Flannery O'Connor. Tangentially, Ruben and his wife Isabel. Have the coolest apartment ever. Huzzahs for Genna - who has the best blog ever. For inspiring this post!

Questing Vole Design: August 2010

http://questingvoledesign.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, August 10, 2010. Landscape plotted and pieced—fold, fallow, and plough.". Another issue of Dappled Things. How *gorgeous* is this cover image by Whitney Wolf. It captures everything I admire in good design: symmetry, beauty, balance and SPACE! Every cover design I get to do for Dappled Things is fun - but I positively relished. Particularly notable in this issue are the essays. By Eleanor Bourg Donlon. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Links Of Some Considerable Interest. Questing Vole Design Portfolio.

Questing Vole Design: ...the unmistakable sound of a barmaid falling downstairs...

http://questingvoledesign.blogspot.com/2010/05/unmistakable-sound-of-barmaid-falling.html

Wednesday, May 12, 2010. The unmistakable sound of a barmaid falling downstairs. When Overlook Press began releasing hardcover editions of P.G. Wodehouse's works. Back in 2003-ish I was, of course, in raptures. It would not be overstating the case to claim that a girlish squeal escaped me upon seeing the first copies (to the profound annoyance of my fellow Barnes and Noble patrons.). As cover illustrator for these jaunty tomes. Surely Marc Rosenthal's. Wodehousian characters are nothing if not ceaselessl...

http://questingvoledesign.blogspot.com/2010/05/counter-original-spare-strange.html

Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Counter, original, spare, strange. The new issue of Dappled Things. Mediaeval-esque drawings are particularly noteworthy for their astounding detail - and, in the case of my favorite image. From this issue - gentle humor. I love the bizarre apocryphal stories that spring up around Irish monastic saints and Mitsui has captured that ease with oddities of nature that seem so intrinsic to Celtic spirituality. Speaking of oddities of nature:. June 8, 2010 at 7:18 PM.

Contra Mundum: November 2009

http://contramundumfamily.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Is you a were-welf? Monday, November 23, 2009. The Action of Grace. So cool to see Fr. Thomas Joseph! H/t Fr. Brian Mulcahy. Sunday, November 22, 2009. Just a little housekeeping. Since we all share this blog in common, it seems only right that we should all have full editorial access. To that end, I've made sure to grant administrative permissions to everyone. Let me know if for any reason you find yourself without full access and I shall try to figure out what in thunder is going on! But this was a gra...

Questing Vole Design: March 2010

http://questingvoledesign.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, March 17, 2010. The Power. The Passion. The Corner. This has nothing whatever to do with design, but it amuses me and. well, who the heck’s blog is this anyway? It all began when I was listening to RadioDerb. And it suddenly struck me that John Derbyshire and John Cleese are basically the same person. (I am entertaining dark suspicions about witness protection programs and time travel…). Here is our all-star cast:. William F. Buckley. I have never felt the death of Millard Mitchell. Make me wa...

Questing Vole Design: February 2010

http://questingvoledesign.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Wednesday, February 24, 2010. There is in London all that life can afford.". Maybe I will go to London this year. I left my heart there and it is lonely without me. Monday, February 22, 2010. The Simplicity of the Spheniscidae. Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction. I can't get enough of Classic Penguin book covers. Imagine my exultation, therefore, at discovering THIS. These cartoon s...
