Mr CUP News

I usually always found the time to post something on the blog, but this time, it was too much ! The Walter 2 magazine is moving well, but even with the success of the first volume and all the subscription, doing a printed magazine is a new thing for me. Walter is not available on major newsstands, only in independent shops and book stores. But it took time to found sellers, time we dedicated to the content and the design of the magazine. We now miss money to print the second volume, so we finally deceided to do a new kickstarter to bring a new light on the project.

 

 

I can now reveal more on the contents of this second volume:
A creative / A Project (front cover) :  Dodecahedron by Rafael Araujo
Instagram to follow : 1924us and more
Neon type Museum of Las Vegas
Dieter Rams and the 10 principals of design
Studio visit : Parliament
It's a kind of magic : creative decks
Creative type
Honey Honey
Marc Besant : design with Peter Gabriel
Exclusive Anton Corbijn interview
Star Wars : original trilogy posters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new Walter will feature an article on the making of Creative playing cards created by Joe White or Chad Michaels, and I am please to have them available in the shop again, including the limited edition Artisan Wood box.

 

 

 

 

 

 

One big change is that I now have a creative studio, but also Jef who start working with me ! So I can now sleep almost one more hour every night ! The office is a little messy and empty, but we will soon found time to unpack all the boxes... For time to time, I check in my vintage stuffs and shoot them on instagram !

 

 

And last week I was invited to talk about my work and projects with the Walking Web team ! It is in french, but it is here.

 

 

Jef, who start working with me at the begining of february now work on editorial design and web development. His first mission was to design a dedicated web site to the www.letterpress-calendar.com ! Good start !

 

 

 

I will be one of the speakers at next -ING festival in Dubaï ! Will tell you more about it soon !

 

 

I finally found some time to present you my best wishes for this new year. May it be creative and inspired!

2015 ...

difficult, among the chao, to see the beautiful things that happened this year. The benefit of having a blog like mine is to be able to read what I wrote the years before and see waht I wish last year, and the year before... and before...

 

2015 will have been the year of the first Walter magazine, thanks to you, and the letterpress calendar that is still a success. 2015 has been a lot of travels too, Portland and Seattle for Provenance project, Switzerland, Corsica, London, Barcelona… and beautiful projects that I look forward to sharing in detail. It also have been the year of confirmation of Niépi success, the gluten-free magazine I realized with my wife. This will mostly been a new chapter opens on reaching the very creative city of Arles and the magnificent street I love to shoot and share on Instagram.

 

 

2016 ...

This will be the year of Mr Cup Creative Studio! I am currently installing it and I'll finally have a dedicated place. Freelancing and working from home is sometimes exhausting, having a "place" was an important phase. And above all, I have a place where I could receive intern and other graphic designers and creative to work together.

This will also be the year of the realization of Walter magazine, No. 2 is underway and we are a bit late because of the time devoted to the calendar. But it will happens, and we may still have need your support to finalize the project. A launch party is planned in February in Paris ...

And in 2016 it will be the 10th anniversary of this blog! It was in 2006 that I had the idea of ​​"graphic exchange", to put everything that inspires me. He'll have to find a way to celebrate this, right?

Thank you all for your messages and your support. Thank you to show that the passion and creativity, sharing and inspiration have an important place in our society and that social media, are not just numbers, but many people interacting with each other! Happy New Year 2016!
