New ebook : Three / 3 months of inspiration . creation . emotion

Given the pace of publication I have on this blog, I’ve always wanted to make a magazine with it. I do like editorial design and worked from such images is a real pleasure... Here is the first issue of THREE, which incorporates what has been published on graphic-exchange from early January to late March. So 3 months! Following the succes of the donation for the 113/577 ebook, this one has a fixed price, just like an usual magazine ...

This first issue has 144 pages and the price is 6,99€. Available HERE !

Mr Cup's eBooks

posted in Shop updates | Print | Objects & shopping | Vintage at 1.22 PM from Ubud, Bali / Indonesia listening Editors

With the succes of the 113/577 ebook, it makes me want to do more... But it take time, and I am working on it... At the same time, I figure out some recent posts can do good ebooks... So with the help of Mathieu, who develops Mr Cup (and believe me, he is patient), we just launch the new eBooks page. I also want to update the navigation of the shop, with direct acess to stickers, wood, posters, etc...

I am please to present you the 3 first Mr Cup eBooks : the vintage stamps catalog, the Wall sticker catalog & the 113/577 best of 2012 !

Back in time... stamp maker

posted in Photos & work news | Photo | Vintage at 1.58 PM from Ubud, Bali / Indonesia listening Brad Mehldau Trio - kines out (radiohead cover)

stamps catalog vintage (c) Fabien Barral www.mr-cup.com

I want to post something unique for tonight, and I dig into my "sources" folder, there you can found thousand and thousand images, old papers, textures I have scan over the years... I was looking for something for the vintage section... And found this stamps catalogue, so I want to share the story behind it...

I guess it was in 2002 or 2003, I lived in middle of France, Clermont-Ferrand... I need to do a stamp and someone tell me this guy was the best. His shop looks like in Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. At this time, letterpress hasn't made its coming out yet, so, seeing old metal fonts was something for me... This guys keep all the stamps he had composed for clients, and told me the shop was in his familly for generations... I ask him if I can shoot the shop, and as I was really passionate, he shows me this old catalog of stamps, and he offers it to me, saying it would be in good hands ! And it is !

So, if you look each page in details you may found compositions that I used for wall stickers... If you found which one, email me the sticker name and I will gave you a special discount code ! Work only for the first right anwer !

And these are the photos I took, 10 years ago !

Nice to meet you Kenny Leck

posted in Nice to meet you | Vintage at 8.25 AM from Singapore / Singapore listening The Police 1984 soundcheck

When I came for the first time in Singapore last october, I discover the amazing BooksActually, the shop of Kenny Leck. Mixing all his passions in the same place, it is like a disneyland store for creative like me... books, magazine, vintage items... After my visit, Kenny contacted me as he want to have the Helvetica wood letters in his shop, we set up a real meeting this time... In fact we spend some hours together as we have so much to share... BOOKSACTUALLY is only the visible part of the iceberg, Kenny is also behind MATH PAPER PRESS, a small press publisher of poetry, novels, and essays & BIRDS & CO., the stationery brand. Ad to that the thousand of vintage and found items collected over the years, and you can imagine how passionate is this man !

Here come some images and yes, the Collection 3 of Helvetica wood letters is exclusively on sell at BooksActually !

nice to meet you Kenny Leck www.mr-cup.com
