Another video brought to us by Cool Hunting, this time about a wallpaper shop that screen prints wall paper by hand. Takes you through the steps. Wow these guys have it together in a major way. Check out their set-up, and do some drooling. Kicking ass and taking names. Oh, and don't miss their brief mention of their scratch and sniff papers.

This is a great short video about a working group of printers in San Paulo, Brazil. There is an email contact for getting work done by their shop (esaretta@gmail.com). Really beautiful and easy to romanticize. But whatever downsides might exist for these guys, you can tell by the look in their eyes that they f*cking L-O-V-E their jobs. Take note.

A great set of book designs drawing on classic James Bond imagery. Love the hand made work, as talked about by Michael Gillette below:
"Most of the type is hand drawn, then scanned and placed in Photoshop. The less scripted ones are based on old font books which were again scanned and manipulated. Sometimes I'd then print them out, create a stencil and make a monotype with an ink roller to get some texture (Moon Raker & Dr No especially). The Ian Fleming type was also hand drawn, I designed it to be flexible and easily adaptable with the varying other faces, it was important to me that the covers felt completely hand made, and was conscious not to make them look over-polished. Really, all the techniques involved are pretty much as they would have been in the 60's & 70's."

A delicate line is cut in this inspired series of book designs that show a singular vision. Jenny Grigg finds a deep groove in these elegant covers for the author Peter Carey. Looking through her portfolio site, we see concepts that are translucent and whimsical yet razor sharp and specific. Jenny shows restraint, and then flourishes. As a designer with years of experience and an impressive CV, we are seeing a master at work.
