this is an oddly satisfying and nicely executed little tumblr collection: matching everyday objects to PMS colour swatches
also on instagram but the collection has been temporarliy put on hold as a book is in the make…
…so he sent me an audio story, and, after coming up with a cover image based around it, I set to work with John Kuramoto to somehow animate it. Usually, when listening to a story, one’s mind not only sees but also feels in images; you imagine and constantly revise and update entire tableaux, much the way you imagine things while reading a book. I hoped that our pictures wouldn’t interfere with that ineffable mental dance but would somehow, like my usual medium of graphic novels, complement it. In fact, it seems to me that much of what we “see” in our everyday lives isn’t in front of us at all but within our memories and imaginations. I’ve noticed as my daughter Clara has grown older that the unfocussed “not seeing what’s in front of her because she’s lost in thought” look has become, perhaps sadly, more and more common. Then again, it’s what I do all day…
another new yorker magazine cover from my favourite graphic artist: chris ware, this one is also accompanied by a beautiful short animation to literally add depth to the story/cover image… enjoy
