Kama Sutra

30th January 2012

kama sutra penguin deluxe malika favre illustrator Kama Sutra

Part of Penguin’s Graphic Classics series, where every classic re-edited is paired with an artist to produce collectable works, the cover of this new edition Kama Sutra has been illustrated by vector queen Malika Favre.

A playful, bold alphabet makes up the words Kama Sutra, while the colours are a nod to the books Indian origins. With original text by Vātsyāyana and no pictures inside, I think in this case you can definitely judge a book by it’s cover. Sexy.

blank space prints stationary cape town gallery BLANK {space}

The other day I discovered BLANK {space} – an sweet little store-cum-gallery that is literally on my doorstep. It’s tiny and hidden away behind big black grills, but inside it’s light and pretty and full of gorgeous letterpress stationary *sigh*, unique prints and limited edition works of art.

Another awesome Cape Town find. Yay!

Playful / Pablo Alfieri

Whenever I see new work by Pablo Alfieri I can’t help but sigh. It’s so beautiful and I’m always inspired by what he produces. His ideas are quite simple on the whole but he executes them in such a polished way. Colourful, bright and bold and usually with a little twist. Amazing.

Check out more of the Argentinian designer’s work on flickr.
