BLANK {space}
22nd December 2011
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!
CommentPlayful / Pablo Alfieri
19th December 2011
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.

Oh me oh my! I was doing some searching for a 2012 calendar and just look at this beauty I stumbled upon!
Cats Let Nothing Darken Their Roar is printed in 4 colours on uncoated stock with a black ribbon binding. Designed by Helsinki based designer Noa Bembibre, every one of the 700 copies is quality controlled by Bembibre herself. I think I would like one of these for Christmas please.

Kabel is the newest typeface offering by Font Fabric. Designed by Mathias Nösel, I think it fits rather nicely on Between the Neon and the Sea. Don’t you?

I picked up this linocut card by James Brown in Pedlars last time we were in London. Cool huh?
