For someone who has much of a fetish for venacular illustration as i do (see medical texts, encylopedias, dictionaries, etc), t this profile of the man who creates the line drawings in american websters is illumanting.

The best thing is that there is one man to do this, and he gets a list of words a day. Every day a random list of things to draw wonderful pictures of. It sounds like a borges story but alive.

from the always amazing langauge hat.
