Books books books

wish i could capture the smell of old books in here. that's the best thing about them. but elinor and i stumbled upon a second-hand bookstore in the heart of stockholm last week. i'd been past it before, but hadn't thought anything of it. it was gloriously delightful inside. and the perfect mixture of pocket-sized penguin novels, beautifully illustrated children's books and ancient leather-bound Bibles. 

The Beautiful and the Good

from now on, i'm going to post everything that i find beautiful on here. as well as the development of my own work.

found out today that two of my pieces were published in the Scavenger Project Book! unfortunately it came in the mail just after i left for Stockholm so i can't have a look yet. but my parents have assured me they'll send in a scan of my work in situ.

right now what i find beautiful is the snow. especially through the lense of a Polaroid :)

also, anything to do with love.

Pola!

Still addicted. This is of my lovely parents last year at Dee Why beach.

Like so inspired right now: Part 1 {Polaroids & Typography}

Image of Tom and me 'polaroided' with this program. My new favourite toy :)

I've been lacking inspiration for a long long time. Who would have thought it would come in the form of typography? If only I'd found these lovely sites before!

I Love Typography

Some font mixing fun

And more fun

I could spend hours here testing my font knowledge, learning about how to start up my own letterpress, looking at old sample books and seeing the latest typographical artwork.
