These pages were rough-printed on my ailing Epson. The final copies will be print-on-demand with a letterpress-printed dust jacket.
I sponged the backs of the inkjet-printed covers before running them through my press for the main titles. This is a 24-hour process that gives me an alternate use for my hand weights.
Fifty Shades of Swisher is a book we created for Kara Swisher, the Wall Street Journal technology columnist and co-founder of "D: All Things Digital". This book is a compilation of fifty humorous quotes made by Kara Swisher, along with images from some of her "D" Conference interviews with the top technology industry players, such as Steven Jobs and Larry Ellison. The book also includes some humorous and heartfelt notes from her family and close friends.
Basil Wolverton is a legend of over-the-top cartooning but he also dedicated himself to reverently inking hundreds of illustrations depicting the Old Testament and Book of Revelations for the Worldwide Church from 1953 to 1974.

My design studio is working on an incredible book of photographs and stories from Pickathon and we need your help to make it happen.
Pickathon is an annual three-day-long music festival that happens out at Pendarvis Farm, southeast of Portland, in early August. I am not much for music festivals nowadays but Pickathon lured me in last year and paid me back for my intrepidness. It is not so much a music festival as it is a fantastic cultural event; one that brings together hipsters and hippies, moms and dads and kids, tambourines and theremins. Some people camp the whole weekend, others just show up for a day; there're stages big and small, one of the best food cart pods around, and an extremely congenial hang-out vibe. I don't really remember any of the bands, so much as I remember sprawling on the grass with our friends and our kids, listening to music and wondering whether we should go get ice cream now, or wait till later, or both.
Tim LaBarge, a Portland photographer, has been obsessively photographing the magic of Pickathon at Pendarvis for the past five years. This year he approached me about making a book out of it. I knew Tim had a massive collection of great photos, and that I could turn it into a magnificent book. The surprise, for me, has been how many writers and musicians have come out of the woodwork to contribute their stories and experiences. Every day I get more excited about this book. Thus far we have contributions from musicians Danny Barnes, Langhorne Slim, Dale Watson, Jill Andrews, and even Captain Bogg himself—just to name a few. Noted music writers Ryan White, Kim Ruehl, Ned Lanneman, and others have also contributed pieces for the book.
We've started a Kickstarter project for the book; we're relying on this initial funding to pay for the printing. It's going to be a gorgeous, full-color, sewn-binding, keepsake-quality book. Please check out the project and the video and, if you can, make a pledge to help us make this book a reality. (We're covering the rest of the expenses by selling a limited number of full-page ads; if you have interest in this, get in touch with me directly.)
You can pre-order a copy of the book for $25: you'll receive a copy of the book (retail value $20) and a copy of the 2010 Pickathon poster, as well as acknowledgment in the book for your help in making it possible.
If you are planning to go to Pickathon this year, think about this: back our project for $200, and you will get a weekend pass, a book, a stainless steel commemorative cup, and a signed copy of this year's poster — very nearly full retail value of your investment. It's a great way to celebrate the festival you love, and be a part of it as well.
Time is getting short and we need to hit that goal to make this work. I'll be posting teaser spreads from the book as they come together. Thanks for reading this, and thanks for your support!

We were recently contacted by Genentech to create a beautiful retirement gift for one of their employees who was retiring after ten years of service to their company. As a departure gift, they wished to create a book that contained sentiments from her colleagues and pictures from company events. This 160-page coffee table book is to be presented at the company send-off event for her. For privacy issues, none of the images are shown in this post.

I screened these contents filtering through 'Green', and illuminated life and design...

Cover jacket for the book 'Rode konen, bolle koppen'.
Photo's by Bertel Kolthof
Cocept and design by me (Curve BNO), Haarlem 1996.
Rearranging my archive I found this book I made 23 years back. It's sometimes a surprise to see old work after so much time, but with all due respect, I think this cover, book concept and design survived. The pictures of Bertel Kolthof are impeccable which always helps a lot when designing a book with so manny images, to say the least.
Design brief was about looking back at a race for traditional Dutch craft which was sponsored by the insurance company Unigarant.
This race was yearly photographed by Bertel Kolthof, so we had almost too much material to choose from.
Client: Unigarant

One of the reasons we chose Thomson-Shore for this print-on-demand edition is that they had a large selection of cover cloth and stamping colors.
The book documents a series of illustrations I made of exhibits from the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. all illustrations were made during December 2010 while wondering through the museum.

The spine has a less expressive version of this maverick character (‘Leipziger Form’, more or less). The typographic title inside the book exhibits the conventional double S, of course.
By the way: the book is set in Tschörtner-Antiqua, designed by Hellmuth Tschörtner and published in 1955 by VEB Typoart Dresden. Andreas Seidel recently has revived this typeface as Toshna.
