Ever wanted to draw every single thing at MoMA? Because Jason Polan thought about it, and then did it. Once in 2005, then again this year. Lucky for you he made two books – The Every Piece of Art in the Museum of Modern Art Books 1 and 2 – chronicling both adventures, now you can save your ink! (via The Jealous Curator)

Little known fact, I’m mildly obsessed with cross sections of trees. I love their untold stories, timeline of life, and individuality. Connecticut-based artist Bryan Gill Nash has created Woodcut, a collection of large scale reliefs made from trees on the land surrounding his studio and neighborhood. I’ve poured over it cover to cover and love having it as a part of my coffee table collection!

Have you read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern? It’s so, so good! Good in the way that I’ve been reading it for two weeks and am only about two thirds of the way through because I never want it to end.
