Anyone who has any interest in Typography should buy Simon Garfield's book 'Just My Type'. It's filled with fascinating facts about the typefaces we all know and love as well as the history and how they were created. Who knew that Eric Gill the creator of Gill Sans had intercourse with his dog as a sexual experiment...fascinating!

The inside sleeve has a periodic table of Typefaces determined by six web surveys including: 100 Best Fonts of All Time; Paul Shaw's Top 100 Types; 21 Most Used Fonts by Professional Designers; Top 7 Fonts Used by Proffessionals in Graphic Design; 30 Fonts that ALL Designers Must Know & Should Own; and Typefaces no one gets fired for using. Can be purchased from Scribble on Everything.

BUST Christmas Craftacular 2010!

Great news everyone, Paper Heart will have a stall with lots of paper treats at this year's BUST Christmas Craftacular on 28th November 2010 (12 - 6pm). See you all there!!

New stuff!

I was pretty busy last week printing a load of Bespoke Hearts but I managed to found the time to print a Christmas card and the 'London Man' print! They're both hand printed limited editions, printed onto 100% recycled paper.

If you feel the desire to make them your own, you can go to my Etsy shop to purchase.

Vanishing Point

I popped in to see a friend Ivan Black's exhibition on Friday night and took some pics of his amazing works. He uses unique kinetic mechanisms to create geometrical forms that move once energy is introduced.

I even made a very short film so you can see the sculptures in their true form...

My Letterpress

I bought an Adana Letterpress on the weekend from some lovely people in Malvern. It came with alot of jumbled up type that I'll need to sort out which will no doubt keep me busy for a while. I can't wait to start producing some beautiful work with this baby...
