Piers Faccini letterpress poster & CD compilation

posted in Mr CUP News | Print at 3.22 PM from Home ! Maruéjols Les Gardons (near Alès / Nîmes / Uzès) / France

This was the first project done with Studio pression, who prints the 2015 letterpress calendar and my latest business cards. When Piers Faccini asked me to help him to print posters accompanied the release of his latest album, I thought it was a good opportunity to do it in letterpress ! The paper cut Piers created for the cover of the album are perfect for it ! We made 4 posters, two with the album cover and two with the "lovers", alternating black, blue and red colors. They are now sold out, but Piers offer 20 of these posters to support the Walter magazine project !

Piers Faccini also released last year a special compilation which contains a selection tracks by artists he likes and support, including an unreleased track by his good friend Ben Harper ! 20 of these CD are also available with the "Music pack" at Walter magazine crowdfunding campaign !

Playing Cards

posted in Mr CUP News | Excellence at 11.00 PM from Arcadie . Méjannes-lès-Alès (near Alès / Nîmes / Uzès) / France listening Radiohead

While I worked on the letterpress calendar with Joe White last year, he told me he was designing playing cards deck... The result is just amazing ! When I heard it was released I want to have one for me, but also want to propose it to you ! So it is now available in the shop ! I am still waiting for them, but I an wait to propose them to you !

Every single playing card within the Contraband deck was designed from scratch - even the Aces, Jokers, and court cards display attention to detail never before achieved. Over a year in the making - and every minute of it is visible in the final design.

Printed by Studio on fire, the box is three foil stamping colors plus an emboss ! Some nice "behind the scene" images shared on their instagram...

Get this deck in the new "playing cards" section of the shop !

And I also get you some more of amazing playing cards including this Artisan Luxury Edition Set contains four decks sealed inside of a laser etched, wood engraved box !

and more playings cards also available in the shop !

Visit the playing cards section of the shop.

1800's tales & wood letters

posted in Mr CUP News | Design | Vintage at 9.17 AM from Home ! Maruéjols Les Gardons (near Alès / Nîmes / Uzès) listening Benjamin Clementine

I have these beautiful pages for some months and I finally decided to sell them... what I like is to find things, I can not keep everything ! These are original vintage page of "Fables d'Esope", a collection of tales, and as it states "Dedicated to Bonaparte" on the first page so I guess it is dated from early 1800's. I found these in a second hand market, and the quality of the print is amazing, as well as the drawings. Perfect to be framed.

I have put 6 for sale in the found section of the shop, only one of each available of course. And they are 20% off as winter sale offer is still running...

Yeaterday, I put some more wood letters in the wood section of the shop ! These have black front... They are available here.

I also have the full wood ones !

Thanks for support !
