Wave

Wave Wave by Suzy Lee


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Man! I'd give this five stars -- Lee's painterly, textured style coupled with the loose charcoal pencil is right up my alley. However -- and I'm terribly sorry that there's a however -- the blatant disregard for the gutter takes the 2008 Caldecott away from this otherwise amazing book. So much art gets lost; I'm sad.

Dish & Spoon

I change the title of this blog because I believe in revision. Also, because I think philosophically it's a more optimistic outlook. However, I keep the same url.

The big question now: do I get the tattoo I said I was going to get once I graduated from this program?

mark ryden

I just remembered this painter's work. I appreciate it for its surrealist tone--also for the bizarre conversations Ryden creates between the objects he paints. At times, the grotesque qualities in conjunction with the children are a bit too much for my stomach to handle, but I think the intertextual qualities coupled with a cartoon-like, popular style draw me to his work. I also think his work mimes a bit of Joe Sorren's. I'm also sometimes into these visceral responses that I have to images as peculiar as these.
