“When I first learned about Abrams and saw the types of books they were making, I knew I wanted my books to be published by them. Abrams books are special-when you hold one in your hands, you have the feeling that this book needed to be made. I once heard an artist say that books are fetish objects-I think Abrams gets that, because their books demand to be treasured. So who better to give comics art its proper due? I feel privileged to have found a home with Abrams.” ThinkingGivingFeelsFirstsArtMadeBookFeelingsHomeHandsWantedArtistFoundSawsHeardSpecialObjectsTypeNeededDemandDuesPrivilegedFetishTreasuredAbram Author:Jeff Kinney
“I am sure that there are many Christians who will confess that their experience has been very much like my own-that we had long known the Lord without realizing that meekness and lowliness of heart should be the distinguishing feature of the disciple, as they were of the Master. Such humility is not a thing that will come on its own. It must be made the object of special desire, prayer, faith and practice.” ShouldHeartLongHas BeensMadeChristianDesireRealizingMy OwnPrayerKnownLordPracticeSpecialObjectsHumilityMastersFeaturesDiscipleMeeknessLowliness Author:Andy Murray
“If everyone used the Internet to share the things they created themselves, what would that look like? I think it makes objects special again.

“So abundant and novel are the objects of interest in a pure wilderness that unless you are pursuing special studies it matters little where you go, or how often to the same place.

“Our camera does not produce pretty pictures, but exact duplications that, through our renunciation of photographic effects, turn out to be relatively objective.

This takes on special meaning if the object cannot be preserved.” IfsDoeCertainTurnsSpecialEffectsObjectsProduceDegreesCamerasObjectivesRenunciationDuplicationPretty Picture Author:Bernd Becher
“You would carpet bomb where ISIS is, not a city, but the location of the troops. You use air power directed - and you have embedded special forces to direction the air power.

“Many painters had a clear idea of what fractals are. Take a French classic painter named Poussin. Now, he painted beautiful landscapes, completely artificial ones, imaginary landscapes. And how did he choose them? Well, he had the balance of trees, of lawns, of houses in the distance. He had a balance of small objects, big objects, big trees in front and his balance of objects at every scale is what gives to Poussin a special feeling.” GivingWellsIdeasFeelingsBigsBeautifulHouseClearTreeSpecialFrontsObjectsBalanceDistanceScalesPainterLandscapeClassicArtificialImaginaryLawnsFractalsBeautiful LandscapesSmall Objects Author:Benoit Mandelbrot
“The words represent ideas first of all. That is something you have to understand. I mean, it is not just an object, but it is an object with a history and it is loaded with all kinds of implications and ideas. They exist in the world in a very special way. So they kind of represent some aspect of the world that we perceive, as do photographs, as do drawings of trees or whatever. And they are not a one to one. They are not the world, but they kind of refer to the world and they also exist in the world.” WorldWayFirstsKindMeanIdeasTreeSpecialObjectsAspectPhotographDrawingAll KindsPerceiveImplicationsLoaded Author:Robert Barry
