Yeah it really is :( Some art assistants have said there is still a chance, but at this point it is looking slim. The closest to Dream Machine is getting the Dark Horse Art Book of his. You can find it here https://www.amazon.com/Art-Satoshi-Kon/dp/1616557419
If he's looking at something from Forge World that'd be a good surprise. Just because he wants it doesn't make it any less surprising or like it less.
You could go with one of the Horus Heresy imagery books or other art book
If he's really into painting you could buy him some really nice brushes.
I start with what I want/what I need. I use Google Sheets. I make all the columns the same width as the row height, then draw/re-draw experimental layouts. Then I try to find something that will fit. The backup plan is always to get a blank dot grid journal and draw in my own layouts, but I think it's nice if there's a pre-printed one that's not too expensive where the pages won't go to waste.
My latest thing is for my daughter when she starts Kindergarten in September. I need something that I can put all her school dates and reminders in, so I can't live without some sort of future log. It didn't have to be a Ryder-Carroll-style future log, just somewhere that I can write down future stuff.
I used to track the weather in her Baby Log books (pic 1: newborn to 9 months, pic 2: 9 months to 2 years). I'd like to do it again if I have room.
She's starting piano lessons in September, so I want somewhere to log whether she practiced that day or not and whether I feel like she's getting anything out of it. I'm worried about her eating lunch by herself at school, so I want somewhere to keep notes about whether she ate or not, what worked and what didn't.
I know that her Kindergarten class does a Word of the Day. I thought it would be cute if I kept a log of her words every day. And she picks 4-5 books for her bedtime story, so I'd like to log her reading too. She also constantly borrows and returns books from the library, so we need to stay on top of it (school or public library, book title, check out date, due date and return date, blank means we still have it) to keep the overdues to a minimum.
I ended up with the Katie Daisy 2019-2020 planner. For every month, there's a Month-on-2-Pages view plus 4.5-ish Week-on-2-Pages views. I'm going to use the monthly views as the Future Log for the year. The weeklies are a horizontal layout, each box for the day of the week is going to get sectioned off into something that looks like this.
And I have the Library Book tracker layout that I want, but I'm still thinking about how to work it into the planner. The current plan is to just print out a 5"x7" sheets and glue them onto the September 2020 - December 2020 pages that I won't be using.
best of summer jade coloring book
I love to color to relax, and de stress. It’s something that I do as bonding with my daughter. This coloring book she has asked for and I would enjoy it also, as it comes with alittle bit of everything coloring wise. Summer jade is my favorite coloring book artist and have never found a bad book from her.
It’s also getting colder here in Ohio. (First light snow yesterday) so there is nothing better then hot cocoa and coloring on a snow day.
Thanks for the fun contest and have a great week!!
Oh gosh, I could (and plan to eventually) go on and on about it, but what it boils down to is that I'm taking a look at this fairly well-known Californian conceptual artist Jim Shaw's new book, My Mirage, and the other comic book elements/references in his oeuvre, and extending it out to a conversation about both the recent proliferation of comics in the fine arts world and the large-scale shunning of comics by those who dictate what is, and what is not, high art. Still a bit shaky on that last bit since my research is essentially just starting out, but the whole thing is really exciting and fascinating to me.
Telecosm: How Infinite Bandwidth Will Revolutionize Our World
by George Gilder
The computer age is over.
After a cataclysmic global run of thirty years, it has given birth to the age of the telecosm -- the world enabled and defined by new communications technology. Chips and software will continue to make great contributions to our lives, but the action is elsewhere. To seek the key to great wealth and to understand the bewildering ways that high tech is restructuring our lives, look not to chip speed but to communication power, or bandwidth. Bandwidth is exploding, and its abundance is the most important social and economic fact of our time.
George Gilder is one of the great technological visionaries, and "the man who put the 's' in 'telecosm'" (Telephony magazine). He is equally famous for understanding and predicting the nuts and bolts of complex technologies, and for putting it all together in a soaring view of why things change, and what it means for our daily lives. His track record of futurist predictions is one of the best, often proving to be right even when initially opposed by mighty corporations and governments. He foresaw the power of fiber and wireless optics, the decline of the telephone regime, and the explosion of handheld computers, among many trends. His list of favored companies outpaced even the soaring Nasdaq in 1999 by more than double.
His long-awaited Telecosm is a bible of the new age of communications. Equal parts science story, business history, social analysis, and prediction, it is the one book you need to make sense of the titanic changes underway in our lives. Whether you surf the net constantly or not at all, whether you live on your cell phone or hate it for its invasion of private life, you need this book. It has been less than two decades since the introduction of the IBM personal computer, and yet the enormous changes wrought in our lives by the computer will pale beside the changes of the telecosm. Gilder explains why computers will "empty out," with their components migrating to the net; why hundreds of low-flying satellites will enable hand-held computers and communicators to become ubiquitous; why television will die; why newspapers and magazines will revive; why advertising will become less obnoxious; and why companies will never be able to waste your time again.
Along the way you will meet the movers and shakers who have made the telecosm possible. From Charles Townes and Gordon Gould, who invented the laser, to the story of JDS Uniphase, "the Intel of the Telecosm," to the birthing of fiberless optics pioneer TeraBeam, here are the inventors and entrepreneurs who will be hailed as the next Edison or Gates. From hardware to software to chips to storage, here are the technologies that will soon be as basic as the air we breathe.

Sophie Calle: Rachel Monique
by Sophie Calle
The haunting story of Sophie Calle’s mother, told through diary excerpts and family photographs
“She was called successively Rachel, Monique, Szyndler, Calle, Pagliero, Gonthier, Sindler,” reads the first lines of Sophie Calle: Rachel Monique, embroidered on the cover. “My mother liked people to talk about her. Her life did not appear in my work, and that annoyed her. When I set up my camera at the bottom of the bed in which she lay dying―fearing that she would pass away in my absence, whereas I wanted to be present and hear her last words―she exclaimed, ‘Finally.’”
Sophie Calle: Rachel Monique tells the story of Monique Szyndler, Sophie Calle’s mother who died in 2007, through diary excerpts and photographs selected by the artist from family albums. Described as “haunting” and “a mystery novel that tirelessly searches for a missing person,” the Rachel Monique project honors a daughter’s complicated relationship with her mother and the artist’s deeply felt grief.
This volume, presenting Calle’s installation of Rachel Monique at the Palais de Tokyo, was designed in close collaboration with the artist. The cover text is embroidered to create a precious object, and all of the texts relating to the installation are beautifully embossed. Sophie Calle: Rachel Monique is a highly personal and moving book, intimate and universal in its expressions of mourning and memory.

Titles of unidentified books: "How to Love.." "Birds..."
Book about "Beatrix Potter" (haven't identified the particular publication)
Though Potter was typical of women of her generation in having limited opportunities for higher education, her study and watercolours of fungi led to her being widely respected in the field of mycology. In her thirties, Potter self-published the highly successful children's book The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Following this, Potter began writing and illustrating children's books full-time.
Potter was also a prize-winning breeder of Herdwick sheep and a prosperous farmer keenly interested in land preservation. Beatrix and her brother were allowed great freedom in the country and both children became adept students of natural history. he Journal, decoded and transcribed by Leslie Linder in 1958, does not provide an intimate record of her personal life, but it is an invaluable source for understanding a vibrant part of British society in the late 19th century. It describes Potter's maturing artistic and intellectual interests, her often amusing insights on the places she visited, and her unusual ability to observe nature and to describe it. Started in 1881, her journal ends in 1897 when her artistic and intellectual energies were absorbed in scientific study and in efforts to publish her drawings.
Beatrix Potter was interested in every branch of natural science save astronomy. By the 1890s her scientific interests centered on mycology.

Walk Through Walls: A Memoir
by Marina Abramovic
“I had experienced absolute freedom—I had felt that my body was without boundaries, limitless; that pain didn’t matter, that nothing mattered at all—and it intoxicated me.”
In 2010, more than 750,000 people stood in line at Marina Abramović’s MoMA retrospective for the chance to sit across from her and communicate with her nonverbally in an unprecedented durational performance that lasted more than 700 hours. This celebration of nearly fifty years of groundbreaking performance art demonstrated once again that Marina Abramović is truly a force of nature.
The child of Communist war-hero parents under Tito’s regime in postwar Yugoslavia, she was raised with a relentless work ethic. Even as she was beginning to build an international artistic career, Marina lived at home under her mother’s abusive control, strictly obeying a 10 p.m. curfew. But nothing could quell her insatiable curiosity, her desire to connect with people, or her distinctly Balkan sense of humor—all of which informs her art and her life. The beating heart of Walk Through Walls is an operatic love story—a twelve-year collaboration with fellow performance artist Ulay, much of which was spent penniless in a van traveling across Europe—a relationship that began to unravel and came to a dramatic end atop the Great Wall of China.
Marina’s story, by turns moving, epic, and dryly funny, informs an incomparable artistic career that involves pushing her body past the limits of fear, pain, exhaustion, and danger in an uncompromising quest for emotional and spiritual transformation. A remarkable work of performance in its own right, Walk Through Walls is a vivid and powerful rendering of the unparalleled life of an extraordinary artist.

Just so you know, it has been done before.
Luckily he is releasing a book with high quality full sized prints of all the cards plus 15 extra prints. I missed out on the cards all together
Hard cover full color original books of art are way more expensive than you'd expect. Go look on Amazon at new release hardcover books of artwork or photography, and you'll see.
