In reading the Endicott Studio blog this week I came across a post linking to several sites featuring automata. I find these fascinating from both a nostalgic and mechanical point of view.

Friday Favorites: Picture This
For today’s Friday Favorite I thought I would do something a little different and bring you a few photography sites that I stumbled across this week. The first is the brilliant retro-cool pinball photography of Kevin Tiell.
Friday Favorites: Sylvia Ji
(Mademoiselle)
Today’s Friday Favorite comes courtesy of the Drawn website, for it is there that I was introduced to the colorful work of Sylvia Ji.
(Emily)
I couldn’t help but like Ji’s work. It has a color palette that reminds me of previous Friday Favorite, Jeff Soto. It has women whose complexions, especially Emily above, are colored in a way that reminds me of some of the colored covers of Terry Moore’s Strangers In Paradise comics (mostly because of the red noses). And the women have a sort of Gibson Girls feel to them.
Friday Favorites: Adam Rex
Since last week’s post was slightly more adult in nature I thought I’d balance my karma with something more child friendly for this week’s Friday Favorite, Adam Rex.
(Doh! Missed this holiday!)
I love children’s book illustration. Some of my favorite artists illustrate books for children and young adults and it is an occupation that I highly regard and am quite jealous of.
Friday Favorites: Shane Glines
Drawing inspiration from the joy of discovering Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang and revisiting my Robert McGinnis post I bring you the work of Shane Glines.
I discovered the work of Shane Glines several years ago and became an instant fan. The work featured on his website is primarily of the good girl variety and much of it reminds me the noir cover art of McGinnis done 50’s cartoon style.
