Links: Sketchnotes, Favorite Photos, Brooklyn Flea
Filed Under: On: March 18, 2008 posted by: 20x200
- Like our Jen Bekman, I was in Austin to speak at SXSW Interactive last weekend. The conference has gotten so huge over the past three years I've stayed home that conflicts kept me from attending any of the panels featured in Mike Rohde's amazing sketchnotes, but I'm getting so much out of looking at what he's written and drawn. Part of the appeal is how lovely his sketchnotes are, stylistically reminiscent (at least to me) of old school band and circus posters, but his careful editing of which details and ideas were important enough to take down are what's really striking.
- Graphic designer Gino Orlandi shares the 30 photos that inspired him to learn photography—three photos each from ten photographers he likes. I love browsing through people's favorites on Flickr to see what moves them visually and what tickles their fancy—looking through mine right now, I guess I'm really into dogs, babies and my friends making strange faces! What do your favorites say about you?
- The Brooklyn real estate and renovation blog Brownstoner is putting together Brooklyn Flea, which will be the largest outdoor market in NYC when it opens on April 6th in Fort Greene. It's exciting to see that along with all the standard sellers of vintage furniture and clothing, jewelry and crafts, their list of vendors has 17 names listed under art and photography—and if you'd like to sell your art and press some flesh every Sunday this spring and summer, the site says they're still taking applications! Otherwise pencil a visit onto your calendar; flea markets are a great way to spend a lazy weekend afternoon, especially with a belly full of brunch.
