Tomorrow I will be in Paris to present the Walter magazine ! So, sharing about the great 'L'instant Parisien' projet is perfect for today post. I love Paris just as I can hate it. I love to go there for some days, and I love to leave it to go back to the country side ! But the blog 'L'instant Parisien' shows you a different vision of the big city ! This is the Paris that I love, and the one I would love to see too, the hidden gardens, the great creative places of creative people ! I am so happy they launch their own printed magazine, I miss their crowdfunding, but you can now get it here !
Selection of images only, read all the great stories on their site !

As I am writing this message, I still haven't get the Walter magazine 2 in my hands ! It is well finished, but it goes directly to the people who will send it to subscribers or supporters over the kickstarter campain ! I should have my own copies on monday, just before going to Paris and share a great moment at the Artazart book store to present it ! If you are in Paris on the 24th, please join us from 6 to 9 pm to share about creativity ! If you can come, please tell us on the facebook dedicated page !
For the event, I will have 30 of the amazing Studio Pression pop up letterpress card to gave to the first buyers of Walter during the event ! I know a lot of you will ask but the card will be available at the event only !
Print and digital editions of Walter 2 are now available at waltermag.com and here in the shop. And for any order before the 23th, you will get the digital version of volume 2 for free ! If you do not get it automatically with your order, just ask !
There have been 2 great articles about Walter recently. The first one is in french, désolé, on the Adobe Creative Connection blog, and the second one is on Print magazine !
Last year I had the pleasure to go to OFFF festival in Barcelona for the first time. It was there I met Michael Chaize from Adobe team. Adobe was the perfect partner for Walter, and they now support the project in an unusual way, you won't see an advert but well a "graphic exchange". They also invited me to OFFF to cover the event so I will be in Barcelona from may 26 to 28th ! See you there for 3 great days of inspiration ! Tell me if you are there and follow me on Walter twitter and instagram during the event !

I like the word collaboration: the act of working with others on a joint project. Unfortunately it has a darker meaning in our history but I like it anyway ... I would gave my own definition : pooling everyone's talents to get a result that we can not get alone.
This is what happens with Piers Faccini. I am a graphic designer, yet I've never worked on graphics projects with Piers since he is already working with Uncle O. So Piers put me out of my comfort zone by asking me to take pictures of him and objects that he produces for his label Beating Drums. So my collaboration to his creative work consists in images to sublimate his objects such as his new book / record: a collection of poems with an instrumental music CD that accompanies the discovery of words ...
Piers is currently recording a new album, and we shared a few hours in his studio to turn his work intro pictures. The result is a series of photos that Piers to present on his site dedicated to the creating process for this new albums that will came out in a few months.
From Piers post : "There’s one little still life he took that day that really caught my eye. Resting on top of the piano, you can see my Neapolitan frame drum and to the right, an old mandolin I found in Portobello market more than twenty years ago, behind which there’s a photocopy of a C12th Sicilian musician playing a ribab. As the eye is lead left to right and out of the photo, you can see a piece of A4 paper with the chord structure for a song on the new album called “Judith” and my old American auto-harp from the 20’s. Even though I’m not in the frame, It’s as a true a portrait of this album and the working process that I could hope for."
