Olle Eksell
Saturday May 17, 2008
I love my new Olle Eksell book I got from Kyoto’s Kinokuniya. Everything is in Japanese, and it’s published by PIE Books. The colours and compositions are beautiful!
I first heard about the book from Happy Mundane, and it was also covered by Julia.
You can see a flip-through of the book here.

Mike Perry's Hand Job
Tuesday April 29, 2008
Hand Job: A Catalog of Type
The popular mind behind Hand Job: A Catalog of Type is Mike Perry, who also sells a lot of cool stuff on his website — like this newspaper he designed entitled It Is A Circular Universe for an art show in Silver Lake L.A.
It Is A Circular Universe newspaper
His website is a fun place to see — there’s fantastic drawings all round, littered with his famous quirky hand-letterings and stuff for sale too.

Some deathly spirits I have known
Wednesday April 9, 2008
I just realized how spooky the title of this handmade book is by the lovely Katy Horan if it weren’t for its cute cover. The book has an accordian fold of silkscreened pages filled with deathly spirits (from her imagination, of course!) and is secured by a hard cover.
It’s a limited edition of 18 copies only, each lovingly handmade by Katy herself, so hurry and get yourself acquainted with some spirits!
