September 26th, one century and some after Winsor McCay was born (1869 - 1871), his editorial cartoons remain oh, so valid! Better known for his comic strip Little Nemo and the animated film Gertie the Dinosaur, today we look at McCay's political & economical illustrations, where the comic page style meets the dark black and white, the bold linear perspectives and highly detailed sections, be it architecture, cityscapes or fantastic worlds. With his use of hatching and color, Winsor McCay was unmatched until Walt Disney revolutionized the world of animation, in the 1930s.

This is officially my favorite book! Kunstformen der Natur is a beautiful collection of lithographic and autotype prints created by a man who successfully managed to recreate the natural beauty in mesmerizing biological drawings. Ernst Haeckel's sketches depict various organisms in such beautiful and harmonious detail you will find yourself amazed of the complex life all-around. Ammonites, jellies, fantastic-like microorganisms, monochromatic and full color drawings, they are a hypnotic collection and amazing lesson of biology, one that raises awareness for the beauty that surrounds us every day.
