Hope you are fine. I started this blog in June... 2006! Yes, 15 years ago. If I always post often on it, I slow down a little for the past months as, well, I can not be everywhere. Same for social media, I mainly focus on Instagram and daily posts there. But here are a few updates of the recent projects and achievements! 

 

This is my current project: Celebrating spectacular typography creations with a visual book & letterpress prints. Sanborn Fire Protection Maps were originally created back in the 1860s to assess buildings and homes before insurance companies issued fire protection policies. If they are frequently used by historians for the important information they gave on cities, what always fascinated me about these maps is the typographic work done on each city name. I spend hours documenting all this legacy and order them alphabetically. Passionate by print, I want to give these a new life with letterpress prints and a book. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Crossed Key Society is a collection of 6 playing cards decks inspired by Europe's Grandest and Greatest Historic Hotels.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was my big project. Everything is now available (except sold-out limited items of course). The last items are the dice and coins!

The past months have been epic! After getting the Ephemerid playing cards with months of delay due to the current situation, we need to ship hundred of pre-order, and the calendars too. With all that, clients projects, launching a new collection of decks on Kickstarter and social media, the blog get the usual attention I gave it over the past... 14 years! It will be 15 years in June! 

 

Here are the final photos. Still available at www.mrcup-shop.com
