At the Baltimore Book Festival this past weekend I stumbled upon a tent-covered stand of zines and indepently published art newspapers. The various publications were beautiful with their hand drawn illustrations, screenprinted pages, and quirky mastheads. I was especially drawn to Nobrow's number five issue, themed A Few of my Favourite Things, where thirty artists were invited to create patterns highlighting their favorite things. It's a beautiful collection of illustrations, all using just four colors. They weren't selling the issue at the festival so I can't wait to order my copy.
