One House Per Day no.001-365 collects the first 365 drawings from
Andrew Bruno’s project One House Per Day, along with a foreword
by Keith Krumwiede and essay contributions by Malcolm Rio,
Alessandro Orsini & Nick Roseboro, and Clark Thenhaus. The
drawings are high quality 1:1 reproductions of the originals, and
the 7.5” trim size matches the size of the sketchbooks that the
originals were drawn in. The drawings are each given a full page,
with a subsequent section including a brief description of each
drawing. While the drawings themselves are mute, and their
descriptions relatively deadpan, the essays contemplate the place
of the detached house in American culture from social, political,
and economic perspectives. The book is 392 pages long and is
softbound in grey recycled paper. The front cover features 365
debossed circles to represent the 365 houses; these give the book a
unique tactile quality.

designs to calm-inducing repetitive patterns, drawing can put us

feeling repeatedly with the meditative exercises offered. Each

drawing. Also included are guided meditations in the form of key
words to ponder as you draw. Finally, inspirational quotes and
short prompts help you put each lesson into practice. A more calm,
present, and mindful moment is waiting. A pencil and this book are

These thirty-three drawings, collected from hundreds of drawings,
are the fruition of sketching trips of the artist to the historic
and picturesque landscapes of the Holy Land. They reflect the
artist's admiration of the majestic sceneries he has witnessed
while touring the various regions of the country. His formative
years were spent in Jerusalem where the urban landscapes of
Jerusalem were first absorbed. During his student years in Haifa he
enjoyed many trips to the mountains of the Carmel and the Galilee.
In later years, being involved in the planning of the town of
Eilat, he had the opportunity to be in close contact with the
mountainous desert views of the Negev and the Arava.
An inspiring sourcebook, this guide helps artists discover a wide
variety of subjects and ideas for their next sketch. More than 140
of the author's drawings illustrate nostalgic scenes, old
engravings, atmospheric effects, photographs, and landscapes.
