Serge Bloch | Illustrator Extraordinnaire

Serge Bloch is, as of today, my favorite illustrator. Not only did his illustration work make me look, the design of his portfolio site impressed me as well. He says he wants to make people smile with his work: mission accomplished with this lady here. Hat tip Serge! (How I would I love one of his illustrations on my walls...!)

volume 1 | a book by Raylene R. Gorum

I have been a big fan of Raylene R. Gorum's sketchbooks for quite a while now. So much, that I asked her if she had prints for sale. We ended up doing a swap: a swissmiss print for a sketchbook print. I was obviously delighted to discover that she has come out with a book featuring some of her earlier sketchbooks:

A book within a book, culled from five years of sketchbooking. All works siphoned from the world around Raylene; a manner of dialoguing with art exhibits, books, fossils, architecture templates, food wrappers, RV culture, love, cats, photography, sake, childbirth, cities, graphics, origami, tape, people on the street and landscape.

Order one here!

After the book is finished he works up a cover and some bonus material. The book is then published and available for purchase online.
