Domitille Collardey

If there is one thing that I have never stopped loving in art and illustration, it’s the cutaway. If you have drawn a cutaway, I will be in love with you forever, even if everything else you’ve ever made is crap, even if your cutaway is crap…mostly because I don’t believe it’s possible to make a shitty cutaway. Each one is a magical little window into the overall operations/layout of something. It’s like an architectural schematic with the added character of something that’s already built and in use. I can’t completely explain to you why they’re just so amazing to me, but they are. And Domitille Collardey has more than one in his repertoire. Thankfully everything else he makes is also incredible, so I don’t have to make the tough choice of whether or not to love his work just because he made a cutaway. The answer is always the same, but that never makes the choice any easier.

Mark Laita: Serpentine

Serpentine

As someone who has been a lover of amphibians and reptiles since literally before I can actually remember anything, I’m not hard to convince that snakes are beautiful. From their fluid movement and delicate texture, to their bright color and silent nature, there’s a lot to be loved about the real inspiration for the word sibilant. So I practically giggled with glee when I found Mark Laita’s collection of photographs titled “Serpentine.” Laita takes amazingly brilliant photos of these incredible animals, capturing their beauty and their character. The execution is simple and elegant and supremely successful. I’d like a giant, full-color print of one of these to put on my wall and stare at, but I will just have to settle for the book that’s coming out in Fall of 2012 like all the other poor schlubs. Fine, that’s fine, I’m gonna turn those pages back and forth until the whole thing falls apart in my hands.
