I know work from Frank Ockenfels for years, as you can not miss it if you follow artists like REM, Bowie or have any interest in music magazines like the 90's Rolling Stones. But I just discover all these great images where by him latelety, as he shoot the picture for Sting new album coming in September and see it on his instagram. I just did a selection of his music and movie portraits, but his studio work for a lot of famous movies posters is so interesting too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is nothing like reading a real magazine... I like to read them on ipad when I travel, but at hoùe, there is nothing like a real heavy beautiful magazine !

 

Milk  is a french children fashion magazine, but they always present nice homes... They finaly goes into a real dedicated home decoration mag with sharp design, fashion designers, nice selection of items for today's families. There is also the "cahier tribus" : it invites us in beautiful interiors from real families, each with a different style : lovers of contemporary, all white and mottled old furniture... All with beautiful pictures and a minimalist layout and sleek ! Just like Cereal magazine, it is really a "way of life" magazine and I want to make it available in the shop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I was in Singapore I buy an issue as it is so nice, so I guess non french readers of this blog maybe interested in it ! I have very few copies of the issue 2 and 3, but have more of the current issue 4. Check the magazine section of the shop to get your copy.

 

I am Back home after a long road trip of around 2000 km ! Here comes a short post in images... We start the trip by Spain, visiting Figueres, Taragona and Zaragoza.

 

 

In Zaragoza, after visiting the Pablo Serrano Museum, I plan to visit El Calotipo letterpress studio who will print the 2014 letterpress calendar and we discover the amazing wall painting around the city...

 

 

Then we leave Spain and go back to France, direction Bordeaux with a stop in Biarritz and Baryonne.

 

 

In Bordeaux we met Phillipe and Vincent from Studio Poa Plume and we do some shoot around the city and discover Phillipe amazing collection of wood type. We share a great dinner with Miss Clara to end up this great day.

 

 

Back on the road, we drove to Castre to met JC from Studio Pression, a new letterpress studio I just discover.

 

 

As Piers Faccini ask me if I can do art prints for the cover of his new album, we worked together on the printing of these. It was goo to smell ink and paper !

 

 

I am now back home and will do detail post about all these great moments all along the coming weeks ! Enjoy life (I do) !
