For each week of 2010 illustrator Daniel Swartz challenged himself to do a new piece of art based upon the IF topics.  Now he has a book with all 52 illustrations available through Blurb! Daniel is currently finishing his MFA in illustration and will be using the profits from the book sales to pay off his student loans. (Smart, huh?) Check out a preview of the whole book here.

I recentely got an email about this new book by Shambhala Publications and thought I’d share!

The book presents paper-cutting techniques through clear step-by-step instructions, detailed diagrams, and templates. Once you’ve mastered the basics, you can move on to trying the projects: cards, gift wrap, mobiles, collages, wreaths, aprons, invitations and even lamp shade décor. The projects are presented with beautiful color photographs in the distinctive Japanese craft style for which our Make Good series is known, making for a book that is as attractive as it is informative. From scrapbookers to paper artists, from printmakers to sewers—all crafters will love this book.

Looks like a beauty!

Find out more about the book and purchase it here.

The Suitcase Series: Camilla Engman

Amanda tips us off in her Twitter feed about Camilla Engman’s latest book from Uppercase Gallery:

THE SUITCASE SERIES

This series presents in glorious detail the lives of artists and designers from around the world. Small and intimate, each book contains a special treasure: in this edition we have included a glassine envelope of postcards with which you can create a Camilla-inspired collage. You’ll also find a booklet
of the adventures of Morran, the little Swedish dog with a big imagination. Each book in The Suitcase Series is a precious souvenir of a creative journey shared between the artist and you, the reader.

A quick mention of a new children’s book, Pigeon and Pigeonette, from writer-illustrator duo Dirk Derom and Sarah Verroken, that also has a web site we loved. With a spatial motion theme and lovely colors, the site definitely piqued our curiosity about the book, which looks to be full of soft illustrations and a charming story of the friendship between a large bird who can’t see, and a tiny one who can’t fly. The site also features a couple fun Pigeon games, and even book art that’s licensed for classroom and other personal use.

We can’t wait to see the promised Pigeon and Pigeonette animations, and if we get our hands on the book itself soon, we’ll let you know more.
