      Living Things 9 & 10 debuting in London

      Living Things 9 & 10

      We're bringing our Living Things series of mini art books to a close with two final fantastic installments by Martine Workman (Vol. 9 "Dance") and JooHee Yoon (Vol. 10 "House Plant")! We can't wait to make them available online and in our SF mini store, but there are only a handful of copies in existence at the moment and most of them are headed to England for their international debut this Saturday at the East London Comics & Art Festival (ELCAF), courtesy of Portland's Reading Frenzy! ELCAF is organized by the awesome Nobrow Press and this 2nd year of the fest will feature tons of exhibitors, artists, talks, and workshops at York Hall. We're thrilled to be launching the conclusion of our series at such a great event!

      Find our brand new Living Things and APAK 2014 Everyday Magic calendar at the Reading Frenzy table. Also say hi to London-based Living Things Vol. 1 and LO Annual planner artist Lizzy Stewart at her booth (news of this year's Annual with more great art from Lizzy coming soon)!

      New APAK calendar & show at Land

      APAK Everyday Magic 2014 Calendar

      Our fellow Portlanders Ayumi and Aaron (aka APAK) have a solo show, Dreaming Together, opening this Friday at the Land gallery. There will be lots of all new work including some 3-D sculptures! Also exciting is that there will be limited copies on-hand of their brand new Little Otsu 2014 calendar, Everyday Magic! We know it's early to be thinking about next year already, but it's never too early to secure your copy of this great calendar that features art from the show. And if you can't make it to the show in Portland, not to worry as they'll be available online shortly.

      Introducing: Daniel Frost

      Welcome to Frostville

      The awesome UK graphic arts festival Pick Me Up starts this Thursday at Somerset House in London and provides the perfect opportunity to finally share one of our big projects with you! One of the international rising stars of the graphics arts world specially selected by an industry panel to be featured in the Pick Me Up Selects artist showcase is Daniel Frost and we're thrilled to announce that he's working on a children's book with us!

      The picture book takes place in his wonderful fictional town of Frostville--it's a charming place populated with colorful characters and humorous city life. We love Daniel's elongated figures, use of bold colors, expressive simplicity, and sense of the comical.  It's been fun working with him on developing the book and we're super excited with how it's coming along. It won't be released until the fall and we'll be posting updates, but you can get sneak peaks of process and ideas on Daniel's blog and if you're in London, you can meet him and see his work-in-progress at Pick Me Up!
