Persepolis & Embroideries


I went to see Persepolis tonight and was so tired I fell asleep half way into it! I will have to go back and watch the rest of it. What I did see I loved, especially the visual layering of graphics and how elements were placed in the foreground, middleground, and background within a frame. It was good use of minimal color and pattern in line work. Marjane Satrapi has a third book called Embroideries The women in her family get together for afternoon tea and discuss stories about life as a woman living in Iran: culture, politics and men.

Also,
Speaking of embroideries, I keep running into Megan Whitmarsh's work. Her site is called Tiny Industries. I love her embroideries. Too freakin' cute!
