Blogger of the Week:
Mark Garvey, Text Arts...As an English Major, I have a special place in my heart for William Strunk and E.B. White's The Elements of Style. (I have a copy--the one illustrated by Maira Kalman--on my nightstand and often peruse it pre-slumber.) Author Mark Garvey is also a fan of the well-regarded classic guide to usage and offers the ultimate tribute to Elements in his upcoming title Stylized: A Slightly Obsessive History of Strunk and White's The Elements of Style (pubbing in October).
You began Text Arts in February. What motivated you to start blogging? What did you hope to accomplish?

Stylized includes more biographical detail about William Strunk than has ever been published before, including some wonderful photographs. I was also able to include some of the correspondence between E. B. White and his editors at Macmillan (the original publishers of The Elements of Style), as well as a number of notes from White to readers of Elements. E. B. White may have been the best letter writer of the twentieth century, and I'm thrilled to be able to reproduce some of his letters and notes in my book. In all, I'm excited and honored to able to pay homage in this way to a book that's been such a big influence in my life.
I'm a newbie in the blogging world myself, so consider the source. But I have learned a few things so far:
- Set up a schedule that you can live with. Don't promise your readers new daily posts if you don't have the time, energy, and ideas to deliver on that promise.
- Find an easy way to keep track of ideas for blog posts--they'll hit you when you least expect it. For this purpose, and for my other writing projects, I carry a small digital voice recorder; it's about the size of a disposable lighter. Have idea > click button > record idea. It's even easier than carrying a notebook and pen.
- Build up a "bank" of ideas--at least titles--so you've got some choices when it comes time to write and post.
- Keep the posts professional, sharp, and well-edited. Before you make them public, ask a trusted friend to look them over for clarity and correctness. (
- Enjoy yourself. If you're having fun, chances are your readers will, too.
Visitors to Text Arts this week will find a somewhat atypical post--longer than usual, and more polemical. I'm usually not quite so worked up. I wrote it in response to some articles and blogs I've read in recent weeks that were using the occasion of the 50th anniversary of The Elements of Style to take potshots at the little book. That kind of foolishness doesn't sit well with me, so I used my platform to do a little venting. It's all in good fun, though. Mostly. And I think blogs can benefit from a little dustup now and again.

Two-dee dragon, enjoying a stylized sun. Creating stuff in a loose, playful style like this is true relaxation and reminds me of drawing unpretentiously in those good ol' childhood days.

In my never-ending quest to build a bridge between 2D and 3D artwork, here's a 3D teapot I rendered in a raw, experimental 2D style, trying to make it look as non-3D as possible by utilizing texturing and lighting techniques.
I hope one day I can make a living out of creating only this type of 'NPR' work (Non-Photorealistic Rendering), as I'm becoming more and more fed up with the usual, hackneyed, sterile, smooth 'n' shiny realistic 3D graphics.

Stylized illustration in an experimental style, about the problem of high shipping expenses when shopping online.
I love style experiments like these. I also love breaking through conventions, such as the avoidance of tangents. In this case I processed a couple of deliberate tangents in the image.
Totally not what I'd expect from you Metin, it's very cool that you're branching out and exploring a bit. Nice job!
beautifully handled
