New Editions

This week we released two editions from Valerie Hegarty and Daniel Cheek. The larger sizes of Valerie's Pileated Woodpecker arrived on Tuesday, after we gave all the 8"x10" prints away to Brooklyn Museum 1stfans. On Wednesday, we were pleased to bring you Daniel Cheek's quiet Rookery Bay, an image dealing with how we experience nature in a world inundated with boundaries and barriers.

From the Web

• Most-delicious-blog-ever Serious Eats posed the question: how much about cooking can actually be learned from cookbooks? And Jane Mount's cookbook shelf was the perfect illustration.
• 20x200 and Austin Kleon got a shout out on Sean Ear1ey's Phonocast this week.
• We're collecting photos of framed 20x200 art for a framing inspiration page! For examples, see these dinosaurs in a law office and Clare Grill's Overachievers in a frame with its own special history.

  To contribute, upload photos of your amazingly arranged wall to Flickr and use the tag "20x200" so that we can find your pics.
