Over & Over by Mike Perry

While I was in Paris last week I saw Mike Perry’s new book “Over & Over” on the shelf of a hip clothing and book store. I was pretty psyched actually. I have been a fan of his work for a while way back before his books. I was in need of some dope hand drawn type and Mike was nice enough to lend me some for a project. Well anyways, the book is pretty much awesome so I’d drop by his site and shell out some lunch money. It showcases hand drawn patterns by artists and designers from around the globe including my buddies at I-Manifest. Maybe I should get Mike to put me in his next book. Hey Mike, I draw too!

Steve McQueen : A Life in Pictures

I am a pretty big Steve McQueen fan. He, like my other favorite Frank Sinatra, somehow had this effortlessly cool presence about him. I walked by Arcana Books the other day and saw this in the window. They have the first edition release which I am dying to get for my birthday, if anyone is paying attention. McQueen had quite a collection of autos and motor bikes too.

Unfinished & Unpublished Notebook

Looking for a new sketchbook? Look no further. Rare Device has released a limited run (500) of beautifully hand-bound book composed of mixed papers to sketch in. The cover is either illustrated with beautiful black and white high-school doodles or an abstract design courtesy of 2 commissioned artists who I have never heard of but would love to see more work from. It comes packaged in a wooden box with wrap around sticker and all for a great price of only $36. Only 7 are left currently so act fast. I have placed my order so there are actually only 6 left. Buy it here.

Saul Bass | Henri’s Walk to Paris

I just stumbled upon this little gem of a book on Flickr. It’s a book that Saul Bass, one of THE most LEGENDARY designers of all time, illustrated. If anyone can point me to where I can actually buy it please do. Enjoy!
