Wednesday Illustrations: Swine flu, Gang bangers, & more
- Illustrated masks:
- The Vader Project features "100 reimagined helmets."
- Gizmodo rounds up some awesomely illustrated anti-flu masks from Mexico.
- Chicago's gang cards of the '70s are a particularly odd form of folk art. I imagine my uncle cracking these thugs' heads back in the day.
- The Rare Book Room site "has been constructed as an educational site intended to allow the visitor to examine and read some of the great books of the world."
- Paper Moon brings beautiful monochrome illustration to 2D gaming.
- Urban infrastructure:
- Subway systems of the world, presented on the same scale.
- Triptrop creates slick heat maps on the fly to show how far by subway any point in New York is from any other.
- Perpetual Kid offers manhole cover coasters.

The subway site is great!
Rarebookroom.org seems to be linked to Octavo, which publishes hi-res scans of many rare and antique volumes on CD.
Octavo was started by Adobe founder (and rare book collector) John Warnock.

Swine Flu made the saying "When pigs fly" Obsolete.
