i posted about taylor holland a while back and he got in touch again this week to mention a new project of his: a wonderful collection of detail images from those really kitsch european touring buses
i have often been fascinated by these as we have a lot of them in amsterdam as well, it’s amazing to think that someone actually ‘designs’ these… thanks for sharing taylor, he has also released a book of the ‘eurobus’ project via matmos press
a new book (with the rather odd title) ‘art in book’ on special book design projects arrived in the post this week from chinese publisher ‘send points’
it features several of our own book projects and the overall quality of the lanscape format book itself was a pleasant surprise for me…
at times amusing is this collection of world ‘bigotry’ maps, seen from the point of view of one nation or categorised in for example, penis sizes
see the whole set here

back in 2008-2009 photographer ‘eric klein wolterink’ made a series of clinical images of kitchens of amsterdam residents, the panorama-like images are composites made of separate images, in each case enough as were necessary to capture the entire plane of cupboards and drawers
closer inspection reveals a plethora of vanishing points & odd disjointed perspectives within each image, the series can also be viewed in (zoomable) detail here and the collection was also published in a book designed in 2011 by hans gremmen
