Maya's Micronomicon An amazing sketch/notebook kept by a Mefi member. It was featured briefly in this post back in August but it's just so awesome I thought it deserved its own over here. Make sure you look at the enlarged pictures.
I don't understand the significance of this. Um, perhaps I'm immune to viewing this kind of thing thanks to four years of critiquing and exploring the pens of my peers at school. Still a fine, interesting link though, so don't let my design snobbishness bring it down. I mean I too can appreciate the creative aspect of this.

Hmmm. I don't think it's amazing for the artwork contained within (if you take each piece individually) although I think there are some really stunning pieces in there. It's the overall impression I get from the notebook. The sheer amount of time it must have taken. The vast amount of subjects covered and the way she chose to present them. The effort put into it. It's definitely worth much more than the sum of its parts, to me.
Kinda like seeing the inside of somebody's brain.
Heh. Selfnoise just summed up in one sentence what I was struggling to convey.
