I figure out I did not update about the letterpress calendars here since I get them ! Too much social media ! If you want one, I made a special offer at 33€ instead of 39€ until christmas... The next project is on its way, and I need a lot of space for it... To give you a clue, the Imaginary moments posters are now sold out !
So, all the calendars are now numbered, and if you order one before december 10th, it is on its way to you. Some picture of the deluxe edition with painting edges (the ones available now have white edges).
I get some stamps done while I was in Bali, they are in plastic and ugly, but usufull, so we play with them to have nice envelops to send them !
So if you want to get one before christmas, you know what you need to do... We also can send it to someone you love and put a personal note, just ask ! I poached two elves to Santa to help me, they await your orders !

El Calotipo did an amazing job printing the calendars, and I want to present their other projects, that I discover on their instagram last summer and that brings me to visit them some weeks after to start this great project ! Details, all is in the details !!!

As I write when I introduce design books in the shop, founding a design book, is, for me, an experience... (all books in fact)... I love to found one in a store, but it is a feeling harder to get when I try to buy books online based on the cover only ! I would love to do real books for my own ebooks but it will be next year, I hope. So, I want, instead to only share books I like, gave you access to the ones I really like and see them with my eyes, with my pictures ! I just put some new books in the shop. Prefect for your designer boy friend for christmas !!!

Studio on fire / Iron beastes
If you are often on my blog, you must know Studio On Fire ! They have taken letterpress to the next level, which makes them arguably one of the best letterpress shop, and this is the book proves it. A "must have" on every designer's shelf. The front cover is printed by the studio itself, in heavy cardboard... more infos on this page of the SOF blog.
Gold & Silver - New Metallic Graphics
Coming after Black & White and Multicolour, Gold & Silver is the third of viction:ary's colour-themed series PALETTE which singly focuses on the dynamic play of metallic ink and materials in graphical designs. With its amazing gold cover and on the sides, it looks like a golden bar !
save the date
I am, of course, very interestind in calendar design ! Hope the 2014 edition will be featured in some book, even if for now ! From promotional merchandise to experimental projects published by 86 designers and advertising agencies worldwide, Save The Date captures how innovative calendar designs continue to engage attention and energise life in a delightful body of forms, graphics and original ideas, derived from a good understanding of its role and uses.
Bibliodyssey - Amazing Archival images
If you are fascinated by old illustrations from the early 1900's, this book is for you... BibliOdyssey's mission blog has been to diligently trawl the dustier corners of the Internet and retrieve these materials for our attention. Thanks to the daily efforts of this singular blog, a myriad of long-forgotten imagery has now re-surfaced, from eighteenth-century anatomical and architectural drawing to occult and alchemical engravings and proto-Surrealist depictions of the horrors of industrialization (for example, the half-plant, half-people illustrations of J.J. Grandville).
And if you have enough, you can order them by colors like me !
Check the SELECTED section of the shop to see all the books available and you can found ebooks here.
