Wood Island residents arriving for their annual church service. The permanent settlement on the island was abandoned in the 1950s.

A few links today:

Check out these collections of Soviet book jackets and Slavic posters (h/t Quipsology).

I recently came upon a link to van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and the fabulous collection of the artist’s letters presented in the original Dutch, in English translation or as the actual facsimiles, which include drawings and doodles…

Speaking of design, Milton Glaser has a blog as well as this fun video where he draws Shakespeare and lectures at the same time. There is never a moment of hesitation in his drawing.

Last weekend I managed to see a movie – which really is an accomplishment these days. I have to say Gary Hustwit’s Helvetica was fabulous. Now, I would say that because I do love Helvetica. Although, I don’t love it quite as much as the guy who has this particular Helvetica tattoo.
