Maira Kalman's Principles of Uncertainty

Artist/designer/children's book author and illustrator/New Yorker contributor/etc Maira Kalman has been writing a column for the New York Times entitled "The Principles of Uncertainty."

Basically, it consists of various colorful sketches of often mundane, urban situations coupled with poetic and witty philosophizing.

Last year, a compilation of many of these pieces hit bookstores. You can find it here: "The Principals of Uncertainty"

The New York Times filmed Ms. Kalman discussing the project at an event: Maira Kalman Interview

Definitely check it out. I grew up reading her zany children's books. She's brilliant and probably motivated me to pursue art/writing at a very young age.
