Obsessive Consumption: What Did You Buy Today? - 01


Obsessive Consumption started out as a blog and turned into a book. It collects the sketches of items purchased by Kate Bingaman Burt over 4 years since she's been drawing them.

It's like a diary of purchases. These are simple line drawings that are sometimes quite scary to look at, especially drawings of credit card bills. It's also a good reflection of the things we buy, and of how much things we buy.

The author does buy a lot of different items and my only question is where she puts all those stuff.

It's a fairly amusing book to look through.
