# week 14 of 2026 ![[fries_vansevenant.png]] [Fries Vansevenant](https://www.instagram.com/fries_vansevenant/) has a distinct geometric collage style that is lots of fun to look at. As a 90s kid, my first choice of images to use had to be Kurt Cobain, although there are plenty of other cool pop-culture identities to check out. --- ## art stuff ![[cartoonModern.png|cartoon man and secretary in a mid-century modern office illustration]] [Cartoon Modern](https://archive.org/details/cartoon-modern-uncompressed/mode/2up) on the Internet Archive is a full book on 1950s animation. Tons of great mid-century modern illustration on display. Well worth downloading as a reference for any illustrators and cartoonists. [Walks](https://youtu.be/vihIPBrP6y0) is a 45 minute deep-dive demo on walk cycles that should be required viewing for all animators.
