Lovely letterpress books.

I particularly like this:


And this:





For two years I traveled the road between Starkville, Mississippi and Tuscaloosa, Alabama while I attended graduate school. This book is a collection of visual and textual vignettes in reflection of that trip; little pieces of the scenery and of my thoughts during that drive.

The paper is 100% cotton rag, handmade from my family's clothes. The six large illustrations are linoleum reduction prints, the other illustrations are line art drawings printed from photopolymer plates. The type is handset in multiple sizes of Lutetia metal types, cast by Harold Berliner. The book is bound in a built-in groove case in a dos-a-dos style binding. 4' x 6', 56 pages with two illustrated fold-outs.

Shaun the Sheep wall sticker.

Hell's bells. I think I need this Aardman vinyl wall graphic.



The high-quality sticker with four strong sheep and Shaun on top is [...] easily stickable and detachable. You can correct its fitting while sticking. Just stick it on top of a stack of magazines and the stack effect will be boosted.

Totally Tubular Ring.

I'm not a ring person, but, if I was, I'd buy this. Pretty, industrial and unique. I like.

Tiny Number Calendar.

Why they're showing the 2008 calendar is beyond me, but you get the idea. Very tiny and cute.

FIELD NOTES Calendar.

Excellent old schooliness. Available for pre-order now.


This baby is a limited edition of 1000 and runs from October 2008 through March 2010 (Is it 2010 already?). The sturdy chipboard backing is 5.5" x 8.5", with stapled-tear-off months. If you’re going to stare at a calendar for eighteen months, it oughta be this one.

This Table Will Self-Destruct from Studio 1a.m.

This table will self-destruct. The top of the table is structured as a grid of concrete pixels. Each time a new table is produced, one pixel is removed from the design. Following these rules of self-destruction, the shape becomes more intricate as it diminishes. This project converges elements of mass production and handmade craftsmanship, resulting in a limited series of entirely unique tables that will end when the shape is no longer practical.

Total pixels currently removed: 25

Cat print.

Simple and lovely. (Bit too expensive for this type of unframed print, though, I think.)

Sending these out to my pal, Martina. (They remind me of your refrigerator poetry.)

everything is ok.

I've been meaning to post about these guys for awhile. I love their "everything is ok" barricade tape. And now their "Everything is ok" kit is up for Cooper Hewitt’s People’s Design Award, so it seems like a good time to give 'em a little love.

Cardboard box bedding.

Sleep under a cardboard box so a homeless young person doesn’t have to.



A large proportion of the proceeds from the Le Clochard quilt cover go to SZN, the foundation for homeless young people in the Netherlands. The income is used to fund housing projects which prioritise supporting young people in finding work or continuing their education.

Sheep mower.

Mower is a cartoony Styrofoam robot sheep that can roam large public lawns with shears in its mouth and rangefinders in its eyes, clipping the grass and avoiding obstacles. But this is no John Deere Graze-o-matic: it's art. Its creator, Osman Khan, references a classic Philip K. Dick sci-fi story (the basis for the movie Blade Runner) to make an object that juxtaposes animal and machine. Do androids dream of electric sheep? Maybe, if they're as fun to watch as "Moe."
