There are some drawings of animals and people in the Summer issue of The Believer magazine.

I am excited to be working on a project right now with Esopus Magazine. The project is a collaboration between the subscribers to the magazine and me. Esopus comes out twice a year. There have been ten issues so far. Each one is beautiful (I find myself being extra careful as I turn the pages of a new issue.) If you are not already a subscriber you can become one right here.

The letter that went out earlier in the week is below. If you would like to subscribe and take part in this project (It will be nice to work with YOU) send an email to jason@esopusmag.com with your "thing" by this Tuesday, July 15.

I just received this print from Melanie Flood. It is beautiful and I was excited to get it. She recently started a project where she is giving away prints of her work. It is worth checking back to her site often to get one of them and to see the various stuff she finds and is working on.

Ofer Wolberger writes a smart and interesting blog here. He recently wrote about his feelings in regards to one of the directions photography and phographers are moving in. I thought it was an interesting article (Ofer produces amazing work and I was curious to read about his view on these things), which brings up a lot of ideas that I think a lot of people might be thinking.

There is a video for The Ornithology Show at Jen Bekman Gallery that you can watch here. Jen gives you a tour of the exhibit. She talks about the piece I did at approximately 10 minutes 41 seconds but you should watch the whole thing!--and get down to the gallery if you are in the area. There are some very nice pieces in it by some terrific artists.

I like Jay Ryan a lot.

Criswell Lappin has a site with some of his design work. He has been making really interesting work for a while and I was excited to see his site.

Bill and I just made a second book. There aren't too many--If you would like to buy one ($6) please email art@jasonpolan.com






























In related news, the new issue of FAESTHETIC just came out! It looks terrific. Dustin Hostetler is good at putting together magazines. You can buy your very own copy here. THE Jacob Brege did a nice piece in it about infinity. If you can guess who the person is at the top of the article you win a prize.

I have a piece of artwork at a show at Jen Bekman's Gallery that is opening this Wednesday. I hope that you get to see the show. There are some terrific artists in it!

There is an original Jordin Isip painting on the corner of Elizabeth and Prince Streets right outside of the store called eleven (that has Rich Jacobs drawings on it!) that looks terrific. The colors look really nice in person--try to go see it if you can.
