I Bought All of These by Kate Bingaman-Burt

Happiest Friday wishes collectors! Today I am pleased-as-punch that Miss Kate Bingaman-Burt has stepped up to bring us this week's installment of Browsing the Archives! Kate's selections are, in her words, "rather random, but all make my belly hurt in a good way." Belly-hurting in a good way is perhaps part of our unwritten mission statement, so, let's get on with her selections!

Red Plastic Plates by Ann Toebbe

Cut paper! Midwest! Mundane! Flat! Gorgeous!

Vanity Fair MAY08:pg269 (and, incredibly, looking not a day older) by Lauren DiCioccio

This is probably one of my favorite 20x200 images of all time. I love everything about this. So smart and lovely.

Industrial Part 1 by Christine Berrie

My dad used to draw combustion engines when he was in school. He would meticulously render the lines in color pencil and press down on the paper so hard that you could see the grooves that the pencil left. The same intensity is happening in this image. Simply fantastic.

Resting on a Bush by Yijun (Pixy) Liao

The purple, the red, the green, the girl, the boots, the bush. awkward and lonely and yet I keep looking at it over and over again.

Dinosaurs at The American Museum of Natural History by Jason Polan

My sister is getting married this weekend. She is having a dinosaur themed wedding and I wish the brilliant Jason Polan could be there to draw everyone's favorite dinosaur.

Thanks, Kate! A dinosaur themed wedding? I think we all wish we could be there for that! I for one will be stalking your flickr stream for evidence of the ensuing awesomeness!
