Here are Today’s images.
TODAY is a weekly jewel box of seemingly random, yet thoughtfully selected, images. At times tender, wicked, nostalgic, amusing, and dazzling, each edition is presented without narration, editing or explanation by its author, designer Eric Baker. "It all began as a goof. One day I sent a good friend about 50 random pictures of cheese. I don't know why, but to me cheese is funny, perhaps it is the word itself and its various connotations. Eventually I began looking closer, or should I say broader at 'things'. Things lost on the fringes...ordinary, odd, beautiful things. Esoteric images, old diagrams, typography, cartography — visions of a once promising but now extinct future."

The graphic illustrations are really timeless, the first work, I guess is a representation of the splitting of an atom and the hand shows man either receiving it or giving it out, and we all know what happened next. The eighth picture makes me wonder why hillbillies had to give their kids guns to carry. Well we now the stories of natural born killers and kids going into schools and blowing things up. I call it the bad old days.
The ninth picture of the manikin family shows a man, his wife, child and mistress. Now, now a first aid box. Someone is going to have a patch up. The twelfth illustration of the clown in my mind’s eye represents the emptiness and sadness within those we believe have everything to makes us happy. Nineteenth picture is a fringe or some type of twilight zone art work, having a hidden meaning to it.
While the French artist in the twenty-first illustration charms its prey using jazz instruments.
It’s a nice collection and a lesson in history.
