Flowers in May makes some really fun prints. Each one features a collection of graphic illustrations based on various themes, including Paris (below), baking and sweets.
To promote Spike Jonze’s latest film—I’m Here, a half hour “robot love story celebrating a life enriched by creativity”—a set of three flip books were created. Each one features two different love stories, which vary depending on whether you flip from front to back or vice versa. You can buy the limited edition books right here at Opening Ceremony, but move quickly. They’re almost sold out.
I’m loving these pieces that Juuso Koponen, a Helsinki-based designer and illustrator, designed for the Flow Festival, an annual music festival featuring a wide variety of musical and entertainment acts. Great style.
It might be a little late for Best of 2009 lists, but I recently came across this particular one and couldn’t not mention it. In January, The Hype Machine put together a list of the top 50 artists of 2009 according to how frequently their songs were posted. They then invited 50 visual artists to create a piece of work inspired by each band, and created a series of posts featuring the resulting artwork. You can see the entire set right here, but a few of my favorites (for both the artwork and the music) are below.
This new book from Gestalten looks like it features tons of great work, all of which incorporate some form of letterpress or printmaking. I can’t wait to get a closer look.
I’m a big fan of everything Behance does, so I was excited to see that they’ve ventured into book publishing. According to the author, Scott Belsky, the book will feature “a series of pragmatic tips, tools, and anecdotes about the art (and science) of making ideas happen.” Read more about it right here.
If you have been keeping up with Lettercult at all, you may already be aware of the Alphabattle currently going on over there. Not exactly a battle per se, but more of a showcase for custom letters; participants have been submitting various letters created from scratch, ranging from hand-drawn to those made out of food. They’ve started with the letter “A” and will move on to a new letter every two weeks. And if you’re interested in having a go at it yourself, you can read up on the guidelines right here.
