Scrappers is a Portland-based multi-media artist. He is also the Art Director at the Portland Mercury. He recently distracted himself at work by filling up this Scout Book. But don't tell his boss.
The Burnside Review published this special, all-Oregon issue with a grant from Literary Arts Oregon.
Featuring a unique sewn binding and a sturdy chipboard cover, this book collects the best minds of the Oregon literary scene in one place! Cover artwork was lovingly penned by Justin "Scrappers" Morrison.
“These words shaped history. They belong to you. Know them.”
This Scout Book is the synthesis of many of the things we get very excited about: metallic inks, historical documents, recycled paper, democracy…the list goes on.
Scout Books is proud to introduce a pocket-sized edition of the Constitution of the United States of America. Containing the Preamble, the seven Articles and the twenty-seven Amendments, this tiny book packs the content into 32 pages and is wrapped in a two-color chipboard cover printed in black and metallic gold inks. Typeset in the oh-so-legible Gotham font by Hoefler & Frere-Jones, this little guy is a contemporary update on a crucial text that aims to make the supreme law of the land more accessible. The front cover boasts Museo Slab, designed by the talented Jos Buivenga.
My goodness, that's a good looking book.

When Will Bryant and Mark Menjivar join forces, terrific things happen. Terrific chipboard things, to be specific.
Will and Mark worked together to create this identity system for the youth advocacy arm of Texas RioGrande Legal Aid (TRLA). Mark works with TRLA to offer aid to youth experiencing homelessness. He got in touch with Will to help him create a series of print items that could be at once beautiful, useful and durable. From that collaboration came three print pieces: a business card, a pocket postcard, and a Scout Book with custom-printed interiors that acts as a Youth Rights Booklet. Will also did the lettering and design for the snazzy TRLA Youth website. Chipboard internet? We’re into it.
In addition to being a chance to create a set of fun printed pieces, Will looks at this collaboration as an opportunity to help out: ”Enabling youth [with] the opportunity to better their circumstances is huge! Most of the kids come from rough backgrounds, so having access to this knowledge empowers them and provides hope for the future,” he told us. “It’s a blessing to be involved with a project that does this.”

Tsilli Pines works in a creative whirlwind of exciting projects, and Alef Betty is her newest foray into the thoughtful amalgamation of rich cultural history and contemporary design aesthetics.
Alef Betty is a project that “reimagines expressions of Jewish identity…It pays tribute to where we come from, and aims to expand our cultural inheritance in its own small way.” Tsill has created a gorgeous website to serve as part historical archive, part family scrapbook, and part design shop. In the Stories section of the site, she explains the impetus for this poster project: a Hebrew alphabet poster that hung in her bedroom as a child.
I urge you to click over to the Alef Betty site and relish in the sleek, modern update of traditional Hebrew design, as well as the black-and-white vintage photographs of the women in Tsilli’s family. Dive into the stories behind the typefaces, and nab yourself a trio of chipboard posters: they come in red AND blue.
Every day this week, we’ll share a new Scout Book filled with creative goodness from the members of Chicago collaborative The Post Family. Awesome!

We took some Hacienda Esmerelda beans over to our friends at Cellar Door Roasters and they brewed it for us using their hand-crafted pour-over set up.
Nicolas then added a few drops of the coffee to the ink, just to make these books extra special.

Rod Hunting is a designer and illustrator with some seriously stunning work in his portfolio. His delicate drawings are at once sophisticated and crafty; they're slick yet ooze evidence of the artist's hand at work. Peep his portfolio and get lost in lovely illustration.
Also, while you're at it, check out his installation of vintage camera drawings. It makes the analog nerds around here quite happy.
Rod filled his Scout Book with space-y pencil illustrations. Rod! I mean, Rad!
It's a beautiful day here at the shop, and I'm not just talking about the gorgeous sun outside...Check out some of our new colors of the Composition Notebook!

Scout Book is pleased to have been a sponsor of Mount Hood Community College's Integrated Media Program's end-of-the-year portfolio review that took place at Nemo Design HQ back in June.
The MHCC students created this fabulous Scout Book that is one of our favorite examples of a creative use for a custom interior.
The interior pages featured photographs, contact information and room for notes on each recent graduate. These Scout Book put the faces of the participants in the hands of their future employers, collaborators and peers. What a good idea!
