If often use this blog to brag about my wonderful friends and their accomplishments. I think that in the world of independent business, and the arts nothing could be more important than sharing information and promoting one another. My friend Sage Dawson who I've mentioned before in past posts is an amazing printmaker and now a published artist. One of her pieces is featured in a new book "From Here to There" all about hand drawn maps. The book's receiving good reviews and recognition, and has some really lovely images. Here's some of these and a little synopsis:
Sage's piece.
"From Here to There celebrates ephemeral documents—usually forgotten or tossed aside after having served their purpose—giving them their due as artifacts representing stories from people's lives around the world. There is the young woman suffering from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis who created maps of the Humira injections on her stomach and thighs to help her remember the sites, and give them time to heal. Or the young boy who imagined a whole country for ants and put it to paper...The maps featured in From Here to There are as varied and touching as the stories they tell." This and more information at Amazon.
