    The collage work of Mike McQuade.

    I’ve been drawn to collages recently. A friend shared an article from The Atlantic, a while back, and it featured the work of Mike McQuade, whose work I was familiar with from the Meet Me In The Bathroom posters, but I’d never dug through his portfolio in detail. Well worth your time.

  • Bibliobus

    Back in the days, in small villages in the Netherlands like the one I grew up in, there used to be a Bibliobus: a library bus or van that visited the village at set times so the residents could borrow books to read (biblio comes from the Dutch word for library, bibliotheek).

    This photo collection on Flickr (found via Daniel Benneworth-Gray) shows a few of them. Different times and, in some cases, tremendous graphic design.
