Doodle of the Day: Bildnis eines älteren Mannes (picture of an old man, 1435-40), Silverpoint on prepared paper, Jan van Eyck (1390 - 1441). Jan van Eyck shows meticulous drawing technique with subtle line work and graduating tonal shading to give a sense of definition and form.

Doodle of the Day: Head of a Youth, Turned to the Left (c. 1480), Silverpoint, grey wash, heightened with white, on grey prepared paper, Sandro Botticelli (1445 - 1510). This drawing uses crisp, confident line work and strong, subtle highlights which gives a sculptural quality.

Newly adorning my office wall is the beautiful 1925 map of the #Arctic. I bought it for $1 from a used bookstore while I was in graduate school, and recently had it framed. Note the large white region in the center: "Unexplored"! Less than 100 years ago! #maps #oceanography
