BibliOdyssey

Jumping French-Canadians. I found this one earlier, linked off of Boing-Boing, and cripes and hamburgers its good stuff. In essence, the "author" (or perhaps I should say "editor") collects fantastic pieces of artwork from books and other resources and posts them. The key here, however, is that the work is just the kind of work we all should have access to (and as artists, should have already been influenced by) but have, by the nature of things, never had the opportunity to have been so graced. BEAUTIFUL stuff.

I am going to give this site, and its anonymous creator, my greatest recommendation, for what that is worth.

Thank-you for making the web what it is supposed to be - a bastian of truly excellent, intellectually stimulating, life-enriching data and images. You deserve every award this infernal electronic-communal-just-three-miles-short-of-Wonderland system can give you.

Vaughn will be pleased.

It is very nice to happen upon a blogger who appreciates art. Most people do, for sure. Nice to 'meet' you.
