According to website 50 Watts, Sigmund Freud’s eccentric niece Martha illustrated a series of children’s books in the early twentieth century (under the pseudonym Tom Seidmann-Freud, or “Tom”). They are trippy and amazing — click here to see more.
Awesome infographic about why the modern dog looks the way it does, made by the collective Always With Honor. I’m kind of obsessed with infographics right now, and I’m also kind of obsessed with Always With Honor’s illustrations.

From Richard Barnes’ Dioramas in Transition series. There’s something so ridiculous about seeing posed, stuffed animals and workers vacuuming (is that a vacuum?) around them as though it is the most common thing in the world.
Diorama (why is that word so hard to spell?) I made at Dioramaland, an event at the Honeytree Gallery in Kansas City, MO — which, if you’re in the area, is a great art space and you should visit.
The gallery supplied toys, craft supplies, and beer, and the theme was announced when we showed up (OCD Apocalypse). We had about two hours to make our masterpieces. This is mine.
Eat Me: Appetite for Design is a very cool, wafer-covered book about food-related design by Victionary.
