I am fond of the Amish and other plain folks and used to get a magazine that was actually produced this way. They even had pictures that were wood-stamped if I remember. It was called Plain and was made quarterly by a Plain Quaker gentleman named Scott Savage. He has some books on Amazon regarding the Plain life. Cool reads. One book was about him walking to turn in his driver license to DMV as he no longer would drive a car and went full horse and buggy.Sylvester wrote:Or like the Gutenbergs used to do, one page at a time.

one of the first things I loved about VW lifestyle was the idiots guide.Amskeptic wrote:I am hand writing and hand illustrating this book, (trees be damned):
Funny, I feel the same way. In fact, at my last garage, I had a worn out beat up Idiot book that I used to cut out some of Peter's drawings and tacked them to my garage walls. I love utilitarian things, especially artwork!airkooledchris wrote: one of the first things I loved about VW lifestyle was the idoits guide.
the illustrations done by Peter Aschwanden really captured me, moreso than even the content itself (at first.)
I love your drawings, they remind me of Peter's in a way, but in color and with more useful content.
id hang yours on the wall to.
some of the drawings Peter did for the 'Velvet Monkeywrench' book that Muir also wrote are my favorites.
years ago I was able to contact Peter before his passing to get a huge print he made (from the Velvet book.)

My favorite illustration in the Idiot's Guide (early edition before they got too gussied up) was the poor insomniac sitting in bed with that exploded view of his engine haunting him.keifernet wrote: I have fond memories of being 8 years old and in the back of my Mom's brand spanking new 71 bus merrily tracing the pictures on the way to Cali on summer vacation!

Mine too... although I sometimes wonder if it may have been more appropriate to depict the poor insomniac lying awake in his Westy pondering his engine parts and how he is to make it home across those mountains.Amskeptic wrote:My favorite illustration in the Idiot's Guide (early edition before they got too gussied up) was the poor insomniac sitting in bed with that exploded view of his engine haunting him.keifernet wrote: I have fond memories of being 8 years old and in the back of my Mom's brand spanking new 71 bus merrily tracing the pictures on the way to Cali on summer vacation!

Yes that one too! and I still spend many hours awake in the middle of some nights dissecting, planning and re arranging things in my mind I have going on.sped372 wrote:Mine too... although I sometimes wonder if it may have been more appropriate to depict the poor insomniac lying awake in his Westy pondering his engine parts and how he is to make it home across those mountains.Amskeptic wrote:My favorite illustration in the Idiot's Guide (early edition before they got too gussied up) was the poor insomniac sitting in bed with that exploded view of his engine haunting him.keifernet wrote: I have fond memories of being 8 years old and in the back of my Mom's brand spanking new 71 bus merrily tracing the pictures on the way to Cali on summer vacation!
