a post cannot do these justice. they are animated gifs of old natural history drawings. says designboom:

finnish graphic designer vladimir stankovic has created a series of illustrated natural history animated GIFs entitled 'cephalopodoptera'. the work depicts a new order of fantasy species of insects and mollusks, glimmering and flickering with imagination. the elusive critters are said to live in the deepest underwater caves of oceans worldwide, equipped with the intelligence equal to that of moths and squid. due to this skill, they have remained hidden for centuries and are waiting to be discovered...

i also was sitting on this beautiful house that i love. it is so relaxing seeming to me!

hurricane sandy has allowed me to go through my bookmarks. somehow i had saved this blogpost about isabel wilson's home and studio.  i have no recollection of doing this, but once i dug around her work and also her shop reed i see why i did.

Gabriel Schama makes really awesome intricate art from paper. I found out about him through kcikstarter, but inthemake has a cool profile of him here. Respect!
