As we journey past the quarter mark of the alphabet some of you may have noticed a slight itching in the back of your eyes. Maybe you’ve felt hunger pains, not in your belly, but at the midpoint of your head. That’s where your visual cortex is found and that hunger signals the beginning stages of art addiction. Other symptoms include: a compulsive need to discover all the names of teachers and friends of a particular well known artist, exploding bookcases due to the weight of too many art books, a deep knowledge of auction houses and their scheduled public viewings. Lastly, hives.

Don’t worry, the addiction is relatively benign and plenty of support groups exist. Just remember, it’s a scavenger hunt which has no list and never ends.

Heinrich Kley
His furiously energetic and gestural ink drawings explode with imagination and have served as fuel for the mind of animators the world over. Heinrich’s combination of alligators, elephants and women in bizarre scenarios directly inspired a section of Disney’s Fantasia.

The blackletter type Wilhelm Klingspor, and Neuland, a chunky, hand-cut sans serif, are by German calligrapher and designer Rudolf Koch. Both were released in metal in the 1920s by Klingspor Brothers type foundry, where Koch was chief designer.


We are Kurt Huggins and Zelda Devon. We live in a pocket-sized apartment in Brooklyn where we collect neat, weird things. Our home is abundant with books, old furniture, mismatching tea cups, and a cat named Cipher. We both illustrate stuff for money so we can continue to invent stories, buy shoelaces, watch puppet shows, and eat sandwiches.
