Remember that review that I did of Milimbo’s books (see previously)? Well they’ve come up with new items just in time for Christmas, including my favorite: A fun poster consisting of images from their book La Luna Sabe A Pescao that can also be separated into postcards. Genius!
Cloudy Collection is the brainchild of David Huyck, an illustrator, designer, and artist based in Moscow, ID. The project produces a set of 6 letterpress prints every three months or so and with it, a new theme and a gang of new collaborators. The project was born out of his love of letterpress and instead of going it alone, he invited his friends to take part and the Cloudy Collection has produced 7 editions so far since 2009!
UPDATE: 24th November
Their most recent edition is called Bunches, Crowds, Clusters, Piles & Knots going to be called Simple and will only be released on 1st December. Best of all, a percentage of the sales of the Cloudy Collection print sets will be donated to The Nature Conservancy, an international organization devoted to saving wild, untouched, and rehabilitated natural places for future generations.
We have a fun package of the entire 2010 editions up for grabs for ONE lucky commenter (that’s three FOUR different print sets worth USD$35 each, including their yet-to-be-released print set!), and another lucky commenter will get the latest print collection, Bunches, Crowds, Clusters, Piles & Knots Simple worth USD$35.
Just leave your comment — say hello, write out a rhyme, anything at all — for a chance at winning! Winners will be picked out after 30th November.
*UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks so much for participating. The winner of this giveaway is Jesseline G. & Melanie Martin!
Love the long lost gaze of Montreal-based artist and illustrator Amber Albrecht’s characters in her paintings and illustrations. She is inspired by the folklores of other cultures, as well as literature, natural history, topography and the environment. From childhood stories, she weaves a new way of looking at the world – with strange characters and imaginary landscapes.
