Book excerpt: From typographic illustrator Marian Bantjes, I Wonder will make you think in new ways about art, design, beauty, and popular culture. This unique presentation features the elaborately crafted word pictures of Marian Bantjes, the most inventive and creative typographic illustrator of our time. Whether intricately hand-drawn or using computer illustration software, Bantjes's work crosses the boundaries of time, style, and technology. There is, however, another side to Bantjes's visual work: her thoughtful treatises on art, design, beauty, and popular culture that add a deeper dimension to the decorative nature of her best-known work. These reflections cover the cult of Santa, road-side advertising, photography and memory, the alphabet's letterforms, heraldry, and stars. Bantjes's writing style ranges from the playful to the confrontational, but it is always imbued with perspicacity, insight, and a sense of fun. Intended to inspire creatives of any persuasion, this is more than a collection of ideas: Bantjes has meticulously illustrated every page of the book in her inimitable style to create an accessible work of art that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Quirky, poignant, astute, funny--this beautiful book presents a compelling collection of observations on visual culture and design. In Stefan Sagmeister's telling words, Bantjes's work is his "favorite example of beauty facilitating the communication of meaning." This paperback edition is expanded with a new essay from the author.

Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered, quizzically thought? Have questions or queries that make you distraught? If you need to inquire, Then you might require A book such as this. (It’s not to be missed.) Pull up a chair, throw your hand in the air. He’ll answer your questions …and answer with flair! For all those “why why why” kids out there, Calef Brown has a few questions of his own: Is water scared of waterfalls? Are clambakes good for bake sales? Are phones annoyed when no one calls? Do jealous clouds steal each other’s thunder? Each question is wackier than the last and is sure to drum up some good laughs. As sublime as it is provocative, Boy Wonders will spur many a discussion—because though the questions are aplenty, readers must provide the answers!
