I personaly think chalk design is over used lately (seen it at McDonald, after Starbucks, that's a sign...), but it is now or never and Franklin Mill does it very well on this new line of products.

Here it comes, the first post of 2014 ! I love all the promises of a new year ! I spent the first day of the year with my wife and daughter on a beach, with some wood letters to play with ! Here comes the result !
I wanted to see the sea for several months, and even if it is only an hour's drive from our house, I had not found the time. It is a perfect landscape to begin a year : immense extent, no limits, bad weather from one side but the sun on the other !
I want to thank you, you who come from time to time or can not start your day without a ride on this site, you who follow me for 8 years or who had discovered this site in 2013 !
Obviously, I have dozens of projects in mind and most important coming in a few days: 3 ebooks ! I was left on 2 and then finally in the running, I made a third ! Shop sales also arrive on January 08 ( "official" day of winter sales in France ) . Then ... new posters , and many other things ! And and as always, my selection of projects to let your 2014 being inspired and creative !

This weekend, at the invitation of Clint Harvey, Head of the School of Design College Australia, I went to Paris to meet Denis and Mylène, who have a lettepress studio... on a boat!
I met Clint 3 years ago during a short time in Brisbane to do a talk, I had the great pleasure to do a typography workshop and print with wood type ! A great time. Since then, we kept in touch and when he told me that he would be in Paris , we had to see us! But I did not expect that! Imagine 4 fans of typography and printing on a large houseboat with a printing studio ! Add it a little wine, some design books and it was a beautiful exchange !
Denis and Mylène spent six months in Australia, that's where Denis is formed letterpress with Clint. After a career in finance, Denis decided to change his life and get to letterpress ! Mylène is a graphic designer, what a duet! So he bought the machine, then invited an American printer perfecting his technique ! Another fine example of people who created their life and " when we want, we can !"
Thanks for the great type addic tweek end !!! / www.letterpress.fr
So this is the last day of 2013 ... Tomorrow is next year! I prepare , of course , many things, but for now I'll enjoy the last few hours ... Just to whet your mouth , I'm working on two numbers of "THREE " ebooks, about 300 pages of pure inspiration ... !

I love the end of the year, looking behind & imagining the year to come. I'm working on 3td and 4th volumes of the THREE eBooks but also on another eBook, no less! And tomorrow, I'm going to spend the weekend in Paris to talk about letterpress and creativity on a ... boat! To learn more, follow me on instagram!
I also like to start a new year with my room tidy! So here are 45 links discovered for the past weeks that deserves some attention!
