Josef Reyes: One of Print Magazine's New Visual Artist for 2009 Shares a New Favorite

Remy Charlip's "Arm In Arm" is a children's book I picked up at the Antiques Garage flea market on 25th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. The illustrations in "Arm in Arm" are delightful and intelligent, but what I find most remarkable about this book is the way in which the illustrations acknowledge and exploit the physical properties of the page.

Christy Sheppard: Finding Newbies

I assign a bit of illustration for the WIRED FOB. And finding new talent that looks, um, new... or that makes me laugh (definitely a plus)... or that is clever and smart... or is all of those things (email me!) is time consuming and difficult. First, I look at blogs. And then I click. And click and click and click. When I find someone I like, I'll click on their links page, and I'll click on those people's links. Or I'll Google someone's name that I find in an illustration book or in the Times' Book Review or in a foreign magazine I found at the one good San Francisco magazine shop and start my string of clicks from there.

And my favorite illustrator I've found this year from a random string of clicks is Mr. Bingo.
