Brilliantly absurd

What a cool little book that I picked up at the B & N post Xmas sale. Instructoart is exactly that, the type of graphic design that you would find in an instructions manual of some sort. The fun part about it is the absurdity of what it is trying to teach, hence the subtitle "Presented by Matthew Vescovo - Master of the Obvious". My favorite vignettes are: "Black & Curly" "People You Trust with Your Children (The Revised List)" "Gay. Straight" And I especially love the author's notes at the end. Brilliant! I shall look for more of his work.
