I wrote a feature for the forthcoming It’s Nice That magazine on Print Gocco. It’s available to pre-order here, and will ship September 29th. The issue also includes interviews with Miranda July, Neville Brody and Noma Bar, as well as other features from Adam Buxton and Micah Lidberg. Should be grand!

Couldn’t buy these quick enough.

Update: Damnit. Couldn’t not pick these up either. Playing cards that also teach you Portugese? YES!

I’m shipping off a bunch of prints to Soma this week, which finally prompted me to get some decent photos of a bunch of my prints for sale in my shop.

Anthony Zinonos’ collages are totally addictive and charming. Lose some time looking through them on his Flickr.

Anthony’s also one of the convoy of awesome people in the Turn Up The Colour show which opens TONIGHT at Analogue Books. The show runs throughout August, so if you’re visiting (which is slightly more possible than usual given that the Fringe kicks off in a few days), you should definitely take some time to drop by.

David Pearson is posting covers from the fifth and apparently final series (boo!) of Penguin’s wonderful Great Ideas series. Dickens’ Night Walks is one of my favourites.

This is bloody amazing. I rarely see a trailer that makes me want to hunt down the film there and then. I’ll say it again, bloody amazing!

A fantastic article on Peter Buchanan-Smith, who formerly designed some of my favourite book covers, and now designs lots of people’s favourite axes.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Julia Hasting interprets ‘forecast’ for a magazine called Nozone. I love rain when illustrated, when written about, just about anywhere.

Good questions all - some early thinking for this year’s Instal festival following last year’s statistic-fuelled effort. See it larger over at Flickr.

Yesterday I wrapped up work on Coming & Crying, the Kickstarter-powered first release from Melissa Gira Grant and Meaghan O’Connell’s Glass Houses Press. The perfect cover photograph is by Nikola Tamindzic, and I handled design duties inside and out.

There was nothing about this whole process that wasn’t a total joy (despite some contradicting claims). Melissa and Meaghan are two of the most enthusiastic, appreciative people you could hope to work with, and I feel totally privileged to be at least a tiny part of their incredible project. It’s the first hardback I’ve worked on, and it’s being printed by Oddi, who you may know as the printers behind some of McSweeney’s most beautifully finished books. It should be available in the next couple months.

Oh, also - Dolly is a hell of a typeface.
