Book Designer Coralie Bickford-Smith
Senior cover designer Coralie Bickford-Smith at Penguin Books has the most wonderfully elegant, playful cover designs. Judge a book by it’s cover? Yes, please!
Book Publisher Gottund Verlag
Small, Pennslyvania-based book publisher Gottund Verlag publishes innovative books by emerging and mid-career artists.
Gottund might sound familiar because they also published Coley Brown’s photo book Jam Jelly Honey Wild Rice. Brown was Ryan McGinley’s assistant before he was discovered and is now a photographer and model. Sounds like a sweet deal to me.
The below images are from Kasane Nogawa’s book Above Below and Andreas Banderas‘s and Nicholas Gottund‘s book U Tell Me. Quietly powerful books that leaves me thinking.
Frenchie Bags by Clare Vivier
Okay, don’t hate me because I haven’t been posting! I’ll be better in the future, promise!
Currently, I’m visiting my parents in North Carolina so I have tons of free time and I’m being productive and looking (online) for a new purse that is (1) practical, (2) reasonably priced, and (3) beautiful. Yeah, I can pretty much use that same checklist for everything in life! But seriously, this decision is hard!
Not sure how to solve that problem, but I have been drooling over these simple, elegant and professional leather bags by Clare Vivier…
