This is London

I bought a copy of 'This is London' by M. Sasek just recently. I'm glad they've begun reprinting again, because I think I'd like to collect more of his books. His illustrations just seem to be the perfect blend of simplicity and detail. Plus I love his use of perspective in the image below. Just thought I'd share.

Required Reading

A friend passed on this link and I thought it was worth passing further. It's a list of prints for sale from an exhibition called "Required Reading", a collection of limited-edition posters based on classic novels. Unfortunately, the exhibition is in Los Angeles, and I am in Melbourne, but other than that sad fact the exhibition looks truly amazing. Here are some of my favourite posters for sale:

Alyssa Nassner

Landland

Dave Perillo

I think "The War of the Worlds" is my favourite, it's also my favourite of these books. Though I will admit I haven't read all of Sherlock Holmes. Maybe I should get onto that.

Anyway, check out the website, they're quite affordable and there's lots worth buying.
