Speechless

Olivia never runs out of things to say.

She's creating new worlds the moment she wakes up.

She's singing new songs until her eyes shut at night.

But when her father walked in with a flower for her,

she was speechless.

She wandered around the house aimlessly

with flower in hand, her mouth shut.

Finally she came back to her father and said,

"Thanks Dad. I've never had my own bouquet before."

Design by the Book



A nice visual narrative on finding inspiration.
These folks paired some Brooklyn artists with a research librarian at the New York Public Library. If you like the idea of old, forgotten sources being remembered and used to create something new, here ya go.
This video is one of four, I think. You can find the other ones if you follow the links on youtube.
Enjoy.
