hounds of love

Anthony Zinonos is a great illustrator as those of you who made it to Prints Charming will know, there's a selection of his work and lovely pieces at Welcome Home, but this book is one of my favourite's and too good not to share online too!

the infinite library

The Infinite Library is a project by Daniel Gustav Cramer and Haris Epaminonda 'The book objects (...) are each made from pages of existing books removed from their bindings and rebound as one. Some of these series loosely relate to each other via a third element: geometrical shapes abstracted from the images, computer-edited, and overprinted on the originals. The disparate image stocks become intertwined and open on one another. Having transcended any thematic organization, the loose pages now have the potential to amalgamate into an infinite number of new books. In so doing, they yield a library that defies conventional categorization.' Dominikus Müller for bb5, March 2008

pelican project

I found the pelican project on things magazine the other evening, they have some really interesting collections and resources - well worth a look.

these both look so good... Printing by Hand by Lena Corwin and A Year of Mornings by Maria Alexandra Vettese and Stephanie Congdon Barnes.

"It wasn't planned. The goal was to hibernate"

I thought Bon Iver's lovely sound and cabin-dwelling went quite nicely with Nigel peake's Sheds book from the last post, have a listen and a good weekend...

Nigel Peake

I found Nigel Peake's work whilst visiting Glasgow for the weekend around this time last year, just before deciding to make it home for quite a while longer and leaving London. We bought one of his amazing Glasgow drawings for the Six Cities Design Festival and love it even more now it's hanging in its rightful home. He makes buildings and cities natural and almost organic with his beautiful, detailed drawings, books and photos.

you look beautiful like that

This is a really lovely book on the portrait photographs of Seydou Keita and Malick Sidibe. Beautiful people, great style, amazing fabrics, backdrops and props and the sweetest saying... "In Bambara, the language widely spoken in Mali, there is an expression, i ka nye tan, which means "you look beautiful like that." Keita's and Sidibe's portraits flatter the sitters, presenting them in the best possible light."
