Walter Schnackenberg, Die Rauschtranke, 1949

Coming this year:
  • More posts featuring work by young artists and designers from around the world
  • A massive illustrated/annotated post archiving the entire blog
  • More Salvador Bartolozzi
  • More posts with Richard Sica
  • More rare international kid's books
  • More international book covers
  • Long-delayed interview with Franz Rottensteiner (about ready to run)
  • Interview with sarcoptiform
  • Interview with Payson Stevens, art director of Biology Today (this will become legendary)
  • More Hoffmeister
  • Illustrated overview of Redstone Press by its founder
  • Features on the collections of friends of this blog
  • More Schnackenberg, God-willing (these two come from a 1980s German-language book on caricature)
  • All the stuff I neglected to do from my 2009 list
Maybe:
  • A "text-per-day" feature, possibly as a PDF email spin-off, something like the New York Ghost. Gilbert Alter-Gilbert will likely co-edit this series.
  • I have some contests up my sleeve.
Major news:
  • I'm working on book projects, one with a publisher, and the rest as the publisher. They will all blow your mind. (If I didn't just jinx them all by talking about them.)
