The Principles of Uncertainty

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Recently I ordered Maira Kalman's book "the Principles of Uncertainty" which is a collection of her illustrated columns for NY Times Select. I first noticed this book on Book By It's Cover and her beautiful illustrations immediately caught my eye. When I later spotted her book at the American Book Center I was a bit hesitant to pay 40 euro's but luckily I was able to order it at bol.com for a little more than half that price.

I would also like to mention that I won't be posting anything these next few days, I'm experiencing some sort of a family emergency as my grandfather has fallen terribly ill with no chance of recovery and I have a hard time focusing on other things at the moment. But please do check back after the weekend. Hope you have a good one!

Hi babe! I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather, love. Sending you lots of positive energy and strength, we're all very much here for you. Always know that!

I absolutely adore Maira Kalman's work, so simple and elegant - but very cute at the same time. A funny kind of cute, don't you think?

I'll miss you, please take all the time you need!

Love you, mon ami!
