A Portrait a Day Keeps Myself Sane (
archive link, my preference) is a fantastic Tumblr blog. Each day it features a new line drawn portrait by its author,
David A. Johnson, whose work is simple, direct, and very beautiful. He's drawn for a number of "leading" media companies, for example, the New York Times Book Review, and illustrates children's books. The work tends to be of historical figures and entertainment folks, but, frankly, it does not matter to much to me who is being drawn (maybe it should) -- I like it better when finding out who it is is a bit of discovery. And his artwork is designed to be downloaded -- how cool is that? Though it is perhaps of no moment, his partner appears to be
Barbara McClintock, another great children's book author and illustrator.
