Laying here the past week with the flu, I’ve had a chance to look through all my books. This page is from one of my absolute favorites: Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. I love the loose lines and fantastic color, it feels like we’re looking into a dream. Every time I happen upon this page it lifts my sprits and sends my mind wandering off to the meadow beyond.

Pull up a chair and prepare to be entertained and disturbed… but mostly entertained. ☺
Yang Yongliang is a young artist born in Shanghai who has a passion for traditional Chinese culture. At an early age he learned Chinese painting, calligraphy and seal carving. These traditional infuences can be seen in his work in which he combines the style of traditional Chinese ink painting and modern urban lanscape photography. His prints show the contradictions he sees between the modern and traditional culture in Shanghai. From a distance his prints appear as harmonious natural scenes but up close you see they are scenes of dark urbanization.
More of his work can be viewed on his website: www.yangyongliang.com

ALISTAIR BELL
NIGHT HERON II
1980
Woodcut
3.5 x 5.25 inches
Edition/20
Bell worked as a draftsman in a structural steel plant until 1967, when he turned his attention to being a full-time artist. He soon established himself for his talent in the graphic media including drypoint, etching, lithography, wood engraving and woodcutting. By his own admission, Bell was always drawn to subject matter in which the linear, rhythmic quality of shape predominated. His depictions of boats, birds and animals are charged, expressionist renderings at once recognizable as quintessential “Bell” interpretations.
