Oh Wow Book Club NYC

I really like the mix of pastels and blacks in the very different, yet inspiring interior design of the OHWOW Book Club store who have opened the doors to a tiny 150 square-foot space in New York’s Greenwich Village - and since I love books I might drop by on my next trip to NYC.

Dedicated to my sister, Josephine

Today I'll post yet another quote and dedicate it to my wonderful sister Josephine. Today is a special day for her and I hope she will appreciate a little "support" from home to make her remember just how amazing and talented she is! She believed she could - so she did!!

TYPODARIUM 2011 - DAILY DOSE OF TYPE

Earlier on I've made a post about Typeface Memory Game, but now I think I've just discovered a new and better gift for any type-lover out there: a type calender for year 2011: a daily typographic inspiration from the "Typodarium", the first tear-off calendar with 365 different fonts. Bread-and-butter types and typographical baubles, character sets and punctuation marks, old masters and wild youths, favourite fonts from all over the world. The date – traditional and functional – is on the front page and on the back are background information and details, designers and sources – and even a marriage proposal! This calendar makes every day a typographical day and some calendar pages a font-shopping list. Learn more here.

 
 

Julie Nord

One of my favourite illustrators - Julie Nord - who lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark, is currently  exhibiting at ARoS with an exhibition called XENOGLOSSY. I wish I could go se it before it is closed down at November 21st, but unfortunately I haven't got the time... 

Instead I would recommend others who live nearby to go see it... 

Below I've posted some of her illustrations - Myself, I'm so lucky to have the "Little Red Ridinghood"(last image) as a signed lithography at home and new guests always seem to have an opinion about it - whether they like it or not...
