amroyounes:

Growing up, my most fond memories was visiting abandoned places with my brother.  To this day, if opportunity presents itself, I bring my camera and take a few pictures.  These are not my work ofcourse, but I hope you enjoy the visual beauty and maybe it brings fond memories of your own adventures.

Manifesto dos escritores brasileiros, em Frankfurt

by cadeiraovoltaire

Bandeira_do_Brasil

Com a Feira do Livro de Frankfurt quase a começar, este ano tendo o Brasil como país convidado, os escritores brasileiros preparam um manifesto onde afirmam algumas posições claras sobre o que se passa no seu país e, de certa forma, em boa parte do mundo. Em português, inglês e alemão, o texto que vai ser distribuído diz assim:

Frankfurt, 8 de outubro de 2013

Nós, abaixo assinados, escritores brasileiros presentes na Feira do Livro de Frankfurt 2013

1- Apoiamos a greve dos professores no Rio de Janeiro, como parte da luta pela melhoria da qualidade do ensino público no Brasil.

2- Repudiamos a violência policial e pedimos um amplo debate sobre a atuação da polícia no país.

3- Não existe cidadania sem educação; não existe democracia sem liberdade de manifestação.

Até agora, assinaram este texto os escritores André Sant’Anna, Andrea del Fuego, Carola Saavedra, Chacal, Daniel Galera, Ferréz, Flávio Izhaki , Heitor Ferraz, Italo Moriconi, João Paulo Cuenca, João Ubaldo Ribeiro, Joca Reiners Terron, Luiz Ruffato, Marçal Aquino, Marcelino Freire, Mary del Priore, Michel Laub, Paulo Henriques Britto, Paulo Lins, Sérgio Sant’Anna, Tércia Montenegro, Veronica Stigger. Diz João Paulo Cuenca, um dos escritores que subscreve o texto: “Na cerimônia de abertura da Feira do Livro de Frankfurt 2013, dia 8 de outubro, entregaremos esse abaixo-assinado para as autoridades e imprensa presentes. Os escritores não encontrados até o meio-dia de amanhã, poderão juntar-se ao manifesto até o encerramento da Feira.” Quem pensava que o escritor comprometido com a sociedade e a polis era coisa do passado, desengane-se.

karenhurley:

An absolutely shocking campaign that is truly brilliant. These images are of actual human rights abuse victims taken by traveling journalists form a variety of countries that have been placed into Switzerland’s surroundings. The shock of seeing these individuals right in front of the public eye certainly shed new light on the issue and caused a global stir.

The Joy of Reading

by Grant


I had the great honor of illustrating the cover of the special Sex Issue of the NY Times Book Review! Thanks to art director Nicholas Blechman for the assignment. It’s full of thoughtful and hilarious pieces on writing about sex - one of the stickier topics to tackle in literature. The issue also features an autobiographical comic by Alison Bechdel (one of my favorite cartoonists) and gorgeous spot illustrations by Luci Gutierrez (one of my new favorite illustrators). 

I’ve turned my cover illustration and a couple of my unused sketches into a series of posters titled The Joy of Reading. I’ll post the other drawings throughout the week.

This past weekend British artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss accompanied by numerous volunteers, took to the beaches of Normandy with rakes and stencils in hand to etch 9,000 silhouettes representing fallen people into the sand. Titled The Fallen 9000, the piece is meant as a stark visual reminder of the civillians, Germans and allied forces who died during the D-Day beach landings at Arromanches on June 6th, 1944 during WWII. The original team consisted of 60 volunteers, but as word spread nearly 500 additional local residents arrived to help with the temporary installation that lasted only a few hours before being washed away by the tide.

As part of an absurdly clever advertising campaign orchestrated by ad agency M&C Saatchi Milano for insurance firms Europ Assistance IT and Genertel, a giant submarine was installed near the city center as if it had suddenly burst through the street. The carefully orchestrated stunt which unfolded on October 1st was complete with a live reenactment meant to reinforce the idea of safeguarding yourself and posessions against unforseen events. Read more over on Designboom. All images courtesy M&C Saatchi Milano. (via It’s Nice That)
