The New York Public Library is hosting an panel discussing differences between American children’s books and those from other countries.

For more information visit the New York Public Library’s Site.
Up From the StacksSet in The New York Public Library at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street and in the environs of Times Square circa 1970, Up From the Stacks is the story of Lincoln Cabinée, a college student working part-time as a page, retrieving books for readers from the Library’s collection of 43 million items. This routine evening job inadvertently thrusts young Cabinée into the treacherous crossroads of scholarly obsession and the businesses of amusement and vice that then flourished in the 42nd Street area. The intellectual life of the city and the happiness of a young man hang in the balance.
Co-commissioned by the Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at The New York Public Library, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts for Target Free Thursdays at the David Rubenstein Atrium.

Parsons Illustration adjunct faculty member Mike Perry has just published a new book–Pulled: A Catalog of Screen Printing. Pulled is a collection of design by various different designers working in the medium of screen printing:
“Popularized in the 1960s by Pop artists like Andy Warhol, screen printing remains a favorite among artists due to its versatility, duplicability, and relatively low cost. In Pulled: A Catalog of Screen Printing, best-selling author Mike Perry (Hand Job, Over and Over) collects the work of more than forty of today’s most talented designers who are, in their own way, pushing the boundaries of this dynamic medium.” – description from Mike’s website
Mike is also the author/curator of Hand Job: A Catalog of Type, and Over & Over: A Catalog of Hand-Drawn Patterns.
An exhibition related to the book’s release is at Yes Gallery in Cincinatti, OH through July 27th.
