A trio of links highlighting printed accounts of art and some of its less-than-stable creators:

• What Would Keef Do? The New York Times’ Paper Cuts blog spotlights a collection of worldly wisdom from the Rolling Stones guitarist.
• Amazing Adventures: Paper Cuts also showcases the kinky side of Superman co-creator Joe Shuster’s artwork (examples of which can be found here).
• The stories children’s books tell: The Guardian offers an interesting look at the world (and a book about the world) that spawned the “golden era” of children’s literature.
