SKULL BOOKSHELF

Oh my goodness, it's been a whole week since I've posted! Bad Meghan, bad! I got really distracted by the hurricane and then going to work, etc. Excuses, excuses.

Anyway, I came upon a book on skulls and inside was a spread that displayed this neat bookshelf arrangement:



Very creative indeed!

MORE BOOKSHELVES

These are interesting...

BOOKSHELVES

UNIQUE WAYS TO CONTAIN YOUR BOOKS

VICTORIA REICHELT - PAINTINGS

I stumbled upon this painter. If you love books you'll love these paintings! I'd really like one for my wall.

STUFFED SHELVES

This actually looks a little hazardous.

BOOKSHELVES!

Below are some more of my bookshelves.

BOOKSHELVES!

Sorry for being away for a few days. I was detained... in the hospital. Oy. Anyway...

Author/illustrator Katie Davis just shared with me some wonderful photos of her sister's bookshelves. Behold, her sister, Jessica King's bookshelves in NYC:



You can visit Jessica's blog here:



They are AMAZING! Color coordinated... Ugh. I wish they were in MY living room!

MY BOOKSHELVES

One of many....



I started to arrange my books by subject: photography, graffiti, children's books, paintings, pop surrealism, and so on. It's a big project! I also have my can collection of OK Soda. Anyone remember OK soda? I think the soda was only released in certain states but the graphic design was AMAZING!







Then there is my Gary Baseman lunch box



And my giant pencil (out of frame) that I carved out of a tree that I cut down freshman year of college. I'm too lazy to look for a photo of it so you'll just have to imagine it.

So yeah, there are lots of other things on this mammoth bookshelf. Up top are really cute and amazing aliens people had sewn for me. I'll show those at some point perhaps, as well, but that also involves taking more photos.

I have four bookshelves so I'll post more photos at other times.

THESE BOOKS MOVE!

BOOKSHELVES!

My good friend and fellow children's book illustrator/author Julia Sarcone-Roach shelves her books by color! Yes, by color. Observe:


(This is funny but only a bookseller would face out a book - look at the bottom. Also, Julia, my dear: I see a few library books in there. I hope you paid for them!)

I asked her to send me this photo because I'm collecting photographs of bookshelves. With the influx of ebooks I want to remind everyone that there's one big thing that you can't do with them: Put them on your shelves! So I want to see your bookshelves. Please send me some photos and I'll post them. My email is my first and last name 007 at yahoo.com

And thank you.
