Guest contributor day!

Presenting, in ultra high fidelity, some graphically wonderful, generic 45 sleeves from the collection of the coolest person in New Jersey (that's not faint praise!), Tim Cronin. Among his many exploits, Tim writes the blog ugh! and was previously seen in the post "Postcards by Tim".

Defaced album covers

These are great.

Favorite Book Sketches

First class each semester I hand the students a questionnaire. One of the questions asks the students to draw, from memory, the cover of their favorite book of all time. I superimpose the drawings over a photo of a blank book, then show them to the students the following class. There is an educational point to all this, but I have to admit, its partially for my own personal enjoyment.
