Vintage

With the succes of the 113/577 ebook, it makes me want to do more... But it take time, and I am working on it... At the same time, I figure out some recent posts can do good ebooks... So with the help of Mathieu, who develops Mr Cup (and believe me, he is patient), we just launch the new eBooks page. I also want to update the navigation of the shop, with direct acess to stickers, wood, posters, etc...

 

 

Hope you like them all !

 

I want to post something unique for tonight, and I dig into my "sources" folder, there you can found thousand and thousand images, old papers, textures I have scan over the years... I was looking for something for the vintage section... And found this stamps catalogue, so I want to share the story behind it...

 

I guess it was in 2002 or 2003, I lived in middle of France, Clermont-Ferrand... I need to do a stamp and someone tell me this guy was the best. His shop looks like in Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. At this time, letterpress hasn't made its coming out yet, so, seeing old metal fonts was something for me... This guys keep all the stamps he had composed for clients, and told me the shop was in his familly for generations... I ask him if I can shoot the shop, and as I was really passionate, he shows me this old catalog of stamps, and he offers it to me, saying it would be in good hands ! And it is !

 

So, if you look each page in details you may found compositions that I used for wall stickers... If you found which one, email me the sticker name and I will gave you a special discount code ! Work only for the first right anwer !

 

 

And these are the photos I took, 10 years ago !

 

 

 

 

When I came for the first time in Singapore last october, I discover the amazing BooksActually, the shop of Kenny Leck. Mixing all his passions in the same place, it is like a disneyland store for creative like me... books, magazine, vintage items... After my visit, Kenny contacted me as he want to have the Helvetica wood letters in his shop, we set up a real meeting this time... In fact we spend some hours together as we have so much to share... BOOKSACTUALLY is only the visible part of the iceberg, Kenny is also behind MATH PAPER PRESS, a small press publisher of poetry, novels, and essays & BIRDS & CO., the stationery brand. Ad to that the thousand of vintage and found items collected over the years, and you can imagine how passionate is this man !

Here come some images and yes, the Collection 3 of Helvetica wood letters is exclusively on sell at BooksActually !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, winter sale will end soon, so I propose you 3 days with 30% off on all the shop : wood products, wall stickers, and even posters... I propose a special sale of the posters at this price last week, and the 2 days offer seems too short seeing the number of email I received, so even the posters have the special offer...

 

At the same time, I am preaparing the found items collection... here comes pictures I took when we werre in France, not of the products, but some details... See preview of the items here too.
