I get the Dover Pictorial email sampler and this week they shared some images from Alice Illustrated: 120 Images from the Classic Tales of Lewis Carroll. I'm adding it to my wishlist.

Snow Drawings
It's March 1st and we're expecting 20 cm of snow overnight. Might as well develop an appreciation for the stuff. Check out Sonja Hinrichsen's Snow Drawings, which were made a couple of weeks ago in Colorado, with the help of five volunteers. Via BB-Blog. (The kids are running to the window -- the storm has officially started.)

Beckett's Fail Better
Although this is the finished print, if I were still teaching the first grade, I think I'd make up similar work sheets for my class to complete. They'd make a fun display. (See also Beckett for Babies, one of my own failure, of which there are many.)

Little Cabin Clings to Side of Building
This little cabin hanging off the side of a building in SF is an art installation. I wish it were actually, you know, a little cabin with someone curled up beside a tiny woodstove inside it. Via The Hairpin.

For Your Valentine: A Box of Love
As seen on TV! A box of 100% pure love. You can purchase this as a print or as a set of valentines. Wouldn't it be perfect as an actual box?

Scaling Buildings in Paris
Those crazy Parisians -- the latest thing is scaling buildings. Well, looking as if you are. This is an art installation by Buenos Aires-based artist Leandro Erlich -- that's a giant mirror and the people are actually climbing all over that facade on the floor. See more photos on My Modern Met.
