Nice to meet you Keegan Meegan / Follow me in Portland / part 1
Back in the USA, in Portland where I spend some days following Seattle visit last march. I visit the letterpress studio of Katy Meegan and Keegan Wenkman, and it always something to see the things in real and smell the paper and ink ! Known for their hand-illustrated letterpress work, it was great to see the "real stuff", with these amazing wood plated hand carved by Keegan for posters ! I also love, of course, their recent lunar calendar ! Follow me...
Trying to explain what a festival like Offf festival is, is like watching a U2 concert on a bad phone video on facebook... you have to live it ! This is LIVE creativity and inspiration ! I am still there, in the large open room while everybody have a beer, but I am done with the sun for some days ! It was amazing to hear and met such inspirational people, even have a quick exchange with Stefan Segmeister abour Bali life and letterpress printing !
While I am here I want to present you the OFFF 15 book designed by spanish studio Vasava. I get so much contacts for the Walter Magazine, but I need to finish first issue before !!!

Nice to meet you : The makers space (Seattle part 4)
Back in Seattle ! I love coworking space since I work in Hubud in Bali. I am working on the Walter magazine right now and Ty Mattson send me his interview where he talks about his SND CYN office with this nice quote :
" I really believe that there is an intrinsic connection between what I do, and where I do it. Your work environment absolutely affects your work. Not just the interior design – although that is a big part – but also the social design. Everyday I get to go to work and be with amazing people. How great is that? The design is one thing, but the people bring it to life." Ty Mattson
The Makers space of Seattle is that kind of place. I take a quick look around before leaving the States last march and it is amazing ! Presentation :
MAKERS is an expansive 11,000 square foot coworking space in downtown Seattle. Perched on a hill overlooking the iconic Elliot’s Bay, MAKERS location is prime in its access to cafes, cocktail bars, shops, and parks. The MAKERS space is modern and chic, welcoming natural light and a clean open feel. Designed with history and sustainability in mind, MAKERS has incorporated many refurbished elements including polished bleacher board floors, salvaged windowpanes and desks made of recycled gym floorboards. MAKERS members enjoy access to premium business amenities, conference rooms, telephone booths, large presentation kitchen, and comfortable lounge area.
