Could you recommend me a good, approachable #book about #symbolism in #art for someone who is interested in creating #solarpunk #illustration of #community and #climateChange ?

I'm more interested in "how to capture the non-obvious ideas" than just a tour of classical art.

The book doesn't need to talk about #climate , just conveying non-obvious meanings.

Part of me is thinking about Scott McCloud's comic books, but I want to go deeper.

A view from the surface of the moon: a vast white expanse under a starry black sky. In the top right of the sky sits the earth, a blue and brown half-moon covered with white clouds. Visible in the distance are mountains. Closer to the viewer is a round hole in the ground. A ladder is sticking out of it, leading down to who knows where. Next to the hole is an orange warning cone. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A tree with no leaves on its branches stands in a bright yellow and bluish space. The area is blurry, but gives the impression of a sunny day, and a vast, icy expanse. The tree stands in the middle of this. Hanging from one of its branches, on the right, is a small sign that reads "open" in large, pinkish-white block letters. Below the sign is placed a chair. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

The giant tries to drink the stream.
John Dickson Batten, from "Europa's Fairy Book" by Joseph Jacobs, London, New York: [ca. 1916] #illustration #art #ChildrensBook https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/illustrations/giant-drink-stream/

A monstrous male figure crouches on the bank of a stream, wide-eyed and with his mouth agape, attempting to swallow as much of the eddying water as possible while fish jump about.

For Decades, Cartographers Have Been Hiding Covert Illustrations Inside of Switzerland’s Official Maps.

https://eyeondesign.aiga.org/for-decades-cartographers-have-been-hiding-covert-illustrations-inside-of-switzerlands-official-maps/

"As Juerg Gilgen, a current cartographer at Swisstopo, told me “as a matter of fact, the proof-reader is also just a human being prone to failure. And cartographers are also just human beings trying to fool around.”"

Wonderful, wonderful stuff.

A hunched figure wearing a coat and a hat walks under a gray night sky and a slightly hazy full moon. The figure has a gnarled cane, and might look like an elderly person out for a walk if it weren't for the fact that its entire upper body is a traffic signal, the red and yellow lights blazing. A low fog hangs over the ground. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A person stands in a bright red space, holding a yellow flame. Rather than appearing brightly lit, the space feels more like a dark room lit by a fire, with shadows pressing in all around. In front of the person, mounted on a pillar like a sculpture, is a vast and weird object: part asteroid, part machine, with organic folds and striations. The parts of the object closest to the flame glow yellow, fading into red and purple. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

A pixel art illustration of a woman with curly blonde hair, pulled into a decorative flower shape on the sides, with a brown hair bow and a brown leather vest and airy white blouse. She is looking to the side, while holding a bubble wand, at lit by the night against a backdrop of hydrangeas and other flowers. Her portrait in encased by a transparent multicolored bubbled, close to the camera.

Molti di voi si ricorderanno di quando il sergente Hartman gridava al soldato Joker "Let me see your real war face!" In questo omaggio a Matthew Modine e a Stanley Kubrick che ho realizzato in due tempi, il volto è disegnato a inchiostro su carta (fine liner 0.05 su foglio A5) mentre colori e grafiche sono in digitale.
