A fellow cartoonist! Found in my comments: Blaugustine, a blog full with cartoons and art. Great! And more work on my link bar ... tomorrow. 8:26:51 PM     |

Making Sense of Marcel Duchamp. Fantastic website (bigtime Flash alert!) about the cubist, dadaist and surrealist. By Andrew Stafford, the same guy who organised the 'Aspen' exhibit, which I've mentioned below. 8:22:49 PM     |

Posada. Must be my 'Art Day' today: Large archive of Posada Prints. "Jose Guadalupe Posada's work is internationally recognized today. Yet, in his own time he was considered a mere artisan, a commercial illustrator producing images on short deadlines for the penny press. After his death in 1913, he was largely forgotten (though his work continued to appear from time to time in the popular press whenever a publisher found it convenient to reuse his printing blocks). His work was rediscovered a decade later by Jean Charlot and the artists of the Mexican Renaissance, who recognized a predecessor in Posada and acknowledged him as "the artist of the Mexican people." 8:11:36 PM     |

Aspen. The multimedia magazine in a box. Aspen magazine was published by Phyllis Johnson from 1965 to 1971. Each issue came in a customized box filled with booklets, phonograph recordings, posters, postcards - one issue even included a spool of Super-8 movie film. Artists included JG Ballard, Peter Blake, John Cage, Ira Cohen, Philip Glass, David Hockney, John Lennon, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol... And here it is reborn as a web version, with the recordings as MP3 files, the movies as Quicktime movies, a full documentary and lots of other stuff. Enjoy. It's ... FAB. 3:57:24 PM     |

I always wanted to know that. The History of the Umbrella - Excerpt from RL. Chambers' Book of Days, Vol. 1 (1864) at 241-44. 2:57:33 PM     |

Spellbound. Alfred Hitchcock Exhibit at The Bill Douglas Centre. Well done with old book covers, photos, posters and even cigarette cards. 7:48:13 AM     |

Blackbeard. The nice person on the left is Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, and he is a professional pirate. Found a Pirate Image Archive. Nice. - Nils, did you link this before or was it a different pirates link? Can't remember... 7:38:02 AM     |
