Of zines and clip art

Coloring books and crayons are for little kids. But good clip art, recovered from old prints and engravings, and jazzed up with watercolors, is another matter. You get to retrace the design principles of an earlier era, and you can really focus on the properties of the paint. We made ours into zines afterwards.
