Nice to meet you : El Calotipo & Las Armas

posted in Print | Vintage | Nice to meet you  at 6.05 PM from Home ! Maruéjols Les Gardons (near Alès / Nîmes / Uzès) / France
elcalotipo-mrcup-01
 
First of all, thanks a lot for the support and orders of the ebooks. I will start to work on the 3td issue of THREE soon as it should cover july to september posts.
 
After been in contact with Piers Faccini via twitter, I found El Calotipo via instagram. When I saw the pictures of their work, I feel their passion for printing, paper and, more important, details ! I was looking for a new partener for the 2014 letterpress calendar, so I contact them. They are in Zaragoza, Spain, and as I am in the south of France, it is not so far and organize a trip there. I have Spanish blood in my veins, my great-grandparents are Spanish and I often went as a kid. And just for the Iberico ham, it's worth the trip! The most impressive is their lead in terms of "gluten-free" : pizza, sandwiches, special dishes in restaurants, big "gluten free" sign on products... a dream !
 
El Calotipo are Carla and Nelson, and their studio is located in San Pablo neighborhood of the city :  the place that has witnessed the evolution of the craftsmen in their workshops since the fifteenth century, we aim to give impetus to this area of the city and recover some old crafts and new technologies works taking as a starting point the following: manual printing generates some qualities which are very interesting in graphic design.

But is was not all ! The whole neighborhood was worth the trip. After showing me their work and talked about our project, Carla gave me a tour of surrounding shops and creatives : Las Armas square, is a new project to revitalize this part of the city and we have a part of association of creative people, called Las Armas Espacios Creativos, founded in 2011. We are 8 creative projects.

Amazing creative place where art extends around the buildings destroyed. Art hide the scars in the city and put creativity at the heart of urban development.

Books now in the shop !

posted in Mr CUP News | Print  at 12.47 PM from Home ! Maruéjols Les Gardons (near Alès / Nîmes / Uzès) / France listening Depeche Mode Delta Machine
Buying a design book, is, for me, an experience... (all books in fact)... I love to found one in a store, checking inspirational projects, and figure out it is what I would need next time I need to create... But it is a feeling I never found when I try to buy books online ! I would love to do real books for my own ebooks but it is too much complicate for now.
 
So, I want, instead to only share books I like, gave you access to them and see them with my eyes, with my pictures ! You can now found these books in the shop.

Studio on fire / Iron beastes

Mr Cup Design Books selection : Studio on fire www.mr-cup.com

Impressive

Mr Cup Design Books selection : Impressive www.mr-cup.com
 
Inspired by the challenge of hands-on tweaks and unpredictable results as well as the tactile qualities of different inks, papers, and binding techniques, today’s creatives are rediscovering old-fashioned printing methods and crafts. Impressive is a topical exploration of the interplay between current trends in graphic design and traditional handiwork such as letterpress printing, hand-cut linotype, chiselled woodblocks, and embossing. In addition to a rich selection of invitations, business cards, stationery, posters, and other material printed by hand, it offers personal insights from designers who are using old-fashioned techniques to create cutting-edge work.

Gold & Silver - New Metallic Graphics

Mr Cup Design Books selection : Gold & Silver www.mr-cup.com
 
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 ! Advanced techniques and cheaper production costs today however require designers use metallic tones with greater sensitivity. Featuring a vast collection of direct mails, stationery, catalogues, events, corporate identities, etc., the title surveys how designers capture the essence of commitment, visions, valued traditions or simply the glittery appeal in the different guises of gold, silver and copper tones. Techniques include gilding, pure gold plating, metallic coatings, anodising, etc. that are fascinating to touch and see.

Bibliodyssey - Amazing Archival images

Mr Cup Design Books selection : Bibliodyssey www.mr-cup.com
 
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).
 
Each of the images is accompanied by commentary from "PK," author and curator of the BibliOdyssey blog. The book also provides details for each image and links to the source website. With a foreword by artist Dinos Chapman, BibliOdyssey is a true cabinet of curiosities and a journey in discovery and delight.
