The 7 legged spider story. Read it.
January 5th, 2010 Archibald Kobayashi
As you can read above David Thorne is a guy with a sense of humor. Read the rest of this hilarious email conversation and more similar stories on his website. He bundled the adventures he had on internet in a book which I got from me misses today!
Weegee’s New York, photographs 1935 - 1960
January 4th, 2010 Sea Captain Plonk E
Bought this thick book full with beautiful pictures of New York City street life from 1935 till 1960, shot by the legendary Weegee, a Ukranian immigrant who understood he was living in a special place which he’d better document.
Insect54′ photostream
November 16th, 2009 Sea Captain Plonk E
The sets of Insect54 are a must for every graphic desinger.
Raving 89
October 3rd, 2009 Katarie
A book with photos by Gavin and Neville Watson of the early days of acid house in London an Manchester where the subculture found its origin:
“Raving 89 takes you through a year of suburban raves, with 200 fantastic images collected together as if a single dramatic night grimy warehouses, phones the size of bricks, smiles, hugs, lasers and dungarees, lives changed, faces lost in music, casualties, friends and general mayhem; with rogues and wronguns lurking in the corners, and more than a few crimes against fashion.”
Order it here.

The bible is 25 years old!
May 3rd, 2009 Sea Captain Plonk E
The bible of the grafitti movement, Subway Art, is celebrating his 25th anniversary this year. Got this book from Sinterklaas in 1985, when I was 12 years old. Actually Sinterklaas was not planning to give it to me anymore, because just before present day, me and my friends got busted by the police for doing the first ever piece in our hometown. But after some crocodile tears, because i desperately wanted that book, the guy with the long white beard gave it to me after all. I still thank him for that because that book partly made me what I am today. So cheers Martha and Henry, I just ordered the 25th anniversary edition!
Calma
February 9th, 2009 Archibald Kobayashi
Calma is Stephan Doitschinoff’s alter ego. The Brasilian artist, famous for his illustrative and spiritual paintings, now bundles his work for the first time in a book.

December 23rd, 2008 Archibald Kobayashi
My Dutch Design is celebrating its tenth anniversary and for that special occasion most famous graphic designer Dick ‘Nijntje’ Bruna did the cover design. Again the book is filled up with all Dutch design companies who fall under te Dutch Designers Association BNO. Order it at BIS.
Vormator
December 19th, 2008 Archibald Kobayashi
Vormator is a new concept book for which 80 designers from all over the world were asked to do graphic stuff with only 8 simple forms (see above). The results are quite interesting.
Update: We ordered the book and it just arrived, but actually its a bit boring…
Things I have learned in my life so far
December 17th, 2008 Archibald Kobayashi
(click the image and then click the play button)
After thinking really hard of what the things were in life he had learned so far, well known graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister decided to make a project out of it where we all can contibute to. As he describes it himself:
“What have you learned in your life so far? What is it that you are fairly sure about? What is it that you believe in by now? Please do write it down beautifully. Design it digitally, photograph it, draw it, scan it and upload it. Use any media that works for you, paint, sculpture, film….”
The project results in beautiful visualised pieces as you can see on the website. The works are bundled in a book as well. (thanks KRD)
Crime Scene Amsterdam
November 12th, 2008 Archibald Kobayashi
We recently bought this book called ‘Crime Scene Amsterdam‘. It’s a book full with forensic photography from Amsterdam’s Police Archive 1960-1986. The photographs are pretty disturbing and sinister, but have a mysterious beauty and are of extremely high quality. Bushes where stiffs were found, people on their knees with their head in the oven, floating bodies in the canals… It’s just something you really (don’t) want to see.

The biggest brand story of the year
July 10th, 2009 Sea Captain Plonk E
The biggest brand story of the year according to Brand New is the new look for MTV International done by Universal Everything. Better described as old look instead of new look, because the conclusion is that the original black and white logo, made in 1981, is going to be kept sacred forever from now on. Where in earlier days hundreds of designers did hundreds of different things with the logo, now, it will be untouched forverer. More images and explanation about the ‘re-design’ right here.
