Never be bored again with KesselsKramer's latest offering, one hundred and one things to do. Jam packed with plenty to keep you occupied and presented with a stunning collection of simple photographic images, it is as much a coffee table text as a manual for any crafternoon collective.
The text is a 40-page essay based on ideas from Do, a label created by KesselsKramer a decade ago. Do produces innovative ideas for products, marketing, communication and design and has been responsible for creating some of the branding strategies for labels like Virgin, Benetton and the Body Shop. With 30 projects already developed by Do and 70 still in a conceptual stage, one hundred and one things to do challenges the reader to participate in the process of production and to think outside the square when developing new ideas. Outlining key trends in the fields of design and graphics, KesselsKramer have developed a text essential to the creative expansion of any artist.

With artists ranging from the...

Grafuck a new book published by newly formed husband-and-wife design team me, me (Fiel Valdez and Peter Vattanatham) is the latest offering of something other than the platform stiletto and waxed chest versions of sexy pictures. Valdez and Vattanatham tasked a mix of international artists and designers with making imagery based on what many people still consider verboten and the upshot is a volume...
Wave Books is a poetry publisher clearly smitten with books as objects. Born from the ashes of Verse Press in 2005, the independent Seattle-based press consistently produces volumes that reflect the care and consideration given to the poems themselves. There's no clear thread running through their diverse catalog — Wave, instead, describes its aim as "publishing the best in American poetry by new and...
Acting like a reverse paparazzo, Sammy Davis Jr. used his position within the Hollywood elite to collect images for his own personal viewing. Rarely without a camera at hand, Davis snapped pictures of his famous friends, as well scenes from his private life. Perhaps more significantly, he also captured huge historical moments from his role endorsing political campaigns and as a key figure in...
Sisters Anna and Tess Knoebel started Abe's Penny, a micro-magazine, earlier this year as subtle reminder of communication in our pre-digital days, back when receiving a postcard from a friend on holiday was the sole means of keeping tabs on their adventures. More a series of flash cards than an actual magazine, Abe's Penny is a monthly volume of four postcards ($48 for six months)...
