My Dad Used to Be So Cool: Keith Negley

From the uber-talented author/illustrator of Tough Guys Have Feelings Too.  Now available for pre-order. I'm proud to say I worked with Keith for awhile. You know, back when he was cool. :)

Keith Negley's playful and emotional art tells this story of a new father who is no longer the cool guy he once was. He looks back wistfully on his crazy times playing in a band, riding a motorcycle, and getting tattoos. Those days may be behind him, but his young son still thinks he's the coolest guy in the world.

Bear braid rug.

Ever since I saw this in Dwell magazine last year, I've wished someone would make one of these. A perfect illustration by Craighton Berman.

Angry Bear.

I don't know why, but I'm completely in love with this illustration. It must speak to my inner angry bear.

I do love a good book trailer.

Vintage Typewriter Art.

Really fun.


Rathbone first started experimenting with this "type" of art when she was at her university. She purchased an old typewriter from a flea market with the hope that she would soon use it to write something. Time flew by before she decided to use it as a drawing tool because writing was not working out so well. Her first piece proved to be promising, and soon she realized that she could explore this new art form much further.

How To Not Die In A Plane Crash.

One of the funniest things I've read in awhile – handy tips for people afraid of flying.

My fave is:

8. Board the plane. Trace a bunch of religious symbolism on the outside of the plane with your finger as you walk through the door. Instant God-force-shield. Draw a little Yoda too, just to be safe. If you have time, a Dumbledore.

Herb Lester — Where The Sidewalk Ends: How to find old New York

I'm a BIG fan of Herb Lester maps. I have two from London, and I may have to add this new one to my collection. Whether you use them for navigation or just enjoy the design, they're really lovely.


This is a guide to the New York you’ve always wanted to see but feared might have disappeared for good. It depicts a city of Edward Hopper diners and down-at-heel dive bars, overstocked grocery stores and mountainous pastrami sandwiches. From Patsy’s Pizzeria in Harlem, to the Nom Wah Tea Parlor in Chinatown, taking in along the way Katz's, the '21' Club and McSorley's Old Ale House, in these long-established Manhattan businesses, the city’s cantankerous spirit lives on.

The map has been designed and illustrated by New York’s own Jim Datz. It is A3 (297x420mm) folded to A6 (105x148mm), and litho printed on recycled paper.
