Chad Kouri loves paper. I might go so far as to call him The Collage Master. His work incorporates vintage ephemera, letterpress printing and found objects, which makes for a body of work that is at once tangible, nostalgic and visually spectacular. Find a bursting portfolio of Chad's work online at Long Live Analog, much of which lives happily in the interesting realm of digital-meets-analog. Geek out over projects such as his papercut desktop wallpaper for Kistune Noir, or his iPhone cases wrapped in digitized artwork of hand-cut vintage graph paper. Whoa.
Chad's Scout Book boasts a fantastic touch-and-feel, cut-and-paste quality. It makes me want to touch my computer screen.
We. Love. These. Cards.
Jill Bliss is awesome, and this new work she debuted at the Land Gallery back in January has made its way to printed matter. Find these in Jill's online shop or at the Land store in Portland.
Which animal is your favorite?
We set out to find out. More than three will definitely fit, by the way.
Yesterday Hannah was struck by an idea and ten minutes later, BOOM! We had the Scout Book mini.
CUTE, right?
This little guy is still in the development stage, but we're working to roll it out as a micro publishing format soon.
A little book for big ideas.
What would you do with an itty-bitty pocket sized book?

Los Angeles is the opposite of our old metropolises. The sprawling multi-dimensionality is alien, and for many, gets on our nerves: the tangled network of highways and the constant driving around, the emphasized nonchalance and never ending optimism of everyone, the sunny weather, the ingenious modernist architecture, the film industry, the tourists and the shitty art museums ... perhaps, just perhaps everything about this city gets on our nerves. Despite, or maybe because of all of this, L.A. is a fucking awesome city, both in the Biblical sense and the slang sense. This staggering awesomeness is fucking undeniable!
The Slanted team wanted to meet Ed Ruscha to talk about his mysteriously seductive and motionless-looking reductive paintings. Unfortunately it didn’t work out, but his piece “Hollywood is a verb” inspired the three different titles/cover variations of this issue. They would also have liked to see David Hockney, who fled the austerity and gray oppression of England (an early Brexit) to Los Angeles to discover a sunny and hedonistic city. No dice there, either. But hey!, in a town like L.A. and on a production like Slanted’s, not everything has to work out. Often, the best things happen when they’re not planned, just as they did here.
They hung out with the wonderful actor Udo Kier and learned a lot about Hollywood and his life. They spent a superb evening with Sarah Lorenzen and her husband, photographer David Hartwell, who meticulously restored the Neutra VDL Studio and Residences, the home of architect Richard Neutra, and a number of other luminaries.
Illustrations, interviews, essays, and a huge appendix with many useful tips and the best Californian typefaces complement the issue thematically.

"Scott Thomas is constantly trying to invent the next big thing." From the looks of it, he's doing quite a job.
Scott Thomas is a designer, an inventor, a thinker and an innovator. He counts President Obama among his clients, and served as Design Director for the Obama campaign. Scott recently curated and edited a book called Designing Obama, a publication that documents the presidential campaign's use of art, design and a grassroots approach to publicity and propaganda. Rad.
Scott filled this Scout Book with sketches for that next big thing he's working on. I'm thoroughly impressed with his planning and plotting.
These Scout Books are HOT!
Mt. Hood Community College’s Integrated Media Program recently had it’s yearly Portfolio Show featuring the work of 18 graphic design students and 12 digital photography students of the class of 2010. They handed these Scout Books out to more than 500 attendees of the show and encouraged them all to vote on their favorite portfolio. The book was also used to take notes on each participant and served as a great take-away.
The Rainbow Box, by Designer/illustrator Norman Laliberté and author Joseph Pintauro.
This product is in mint condition, with possible exception of box itself which is still amazing, but with a sticker pull and hard to notice edge wear, but barely worn at all. Interior, books and poster appear brand new.
Produced in limited edition of 15,000, this consists of the box itself, four books—A Box of Sun, The Peace Box, The Rabbit Box and The Magic Box plus “The Peace Poster”, which says "Make the World Attractive to the Rest of the Universe" - which honors in art and poetry the four seasons plus the times of life. The idea was to present these four different subjects in individual books that were then put together in as colorful and as exciting a manner as the books themselves were. The concept of the cube represented the multifaceted views of time and life as presented within the books. To produce so many pages of color in a special package at a minimal price required the integration of the efforts of the poet, the artist and the printer to get maximum benefit at minimal dollar cost.
Special Features: The box itself was manufactured by The Box Shop, New Haven, Connecticut, who also assembled the pieces into the cubes and manufactured the color space interiors.

French Navy pre-Dreadnought battleship FR Suffren.
Built - Arsenal de Brest - 1903
Torpedoed and lost with all hands - 26 November 1916
This image was produced from a series of original negatives used to promote the French Fleet of that era. Most of the negatives in this collection received retouching modifications for contemporary postcard or offset printing processes. The retouching was carried out to facilitate or improve the negatives tonal range for the printing process. Some enhancements such as fake clouds, waves, smoke and highlights might still be seen in this reproduction from those negatives.

The exhibition, entitled Montezuma’s Breakfast, was part of an ensemble that included the installation space, a catalogue, an artist’s book, an invitation card, and artwork titles; Nonas intended them to form a seamless but mysterious whole that would “create small, ongoing intrusions into the expectations of the audience.”

Wallace Cochran writes a creative non-fiction history of the rocket, and Marriage Records‘ publishing imprint MPH has released it in this gorgeous limited-edition book. One half of the band Drakkar Sauna, Cochran’s text lent itself to lyrics for the band’s latest release on Marriage Records.
This book was lovingly assembled from two colors of interior text-weight stock and wrapped in a cover letterpress printed by EMprint Press. Design was done by AF Jamison. As much an exploration of publishing as it is of paper and ink, we’re proud to have worked on this specimen of fine printing.

The Rainbow Box, by Designer/illustrator Norman Laliberté and author Joseph Pintauro.
This product is in mint condition, with possible exception of box itself which is still amazing, but with a sticker pull and hard to notice edge wear, but barely worn at all. Interior, books and poster appear brand new.
Produced in limited edition of 15,000, this consists of the box itself, four books—A Box of Sun, The Peace Box, The Rabbit Box and The Magic Box plus “The Peace Poster”, which says "Make the World Attractive to the Rest of the Universe" - which honors in art and poetry the four seasons plus the times of life. The idea was to present these four different subjects in individual books that were then put together in as colorful and as exciting a manner as the books themselves were. The concept of the cube represented the multifaceted views of time and life as presented within the books. To produce so many pages of color in a special package at a minimal price required the integration of the efforts of the poet, the artist and the printer to get maximum benefit at minimal dollar cost.
Special Features: The box itself was manufactured by The Box Shop, New Haven, Connecticut, who also assembled the pieces into the cubes and manufactured the color space interiors.

Scout Books for weddings. What a great idea! We teamed up with the fabulous ladies at Ice Cream Social to help us design and create some beautiful little notebooks. They turned out great and are just one example of how versatile and personal Scout Books can be for that special day! They would make adorable favors, gifts for your out of town guests, or look great as unique invitations! We are so excited about all the possibilities and you will be too!
Los Angeles is the opposite of our old metropolises. The sprawling multi-dimensionality is alien, and for many, gets on our nerves: the tangled network of highways and the constant driving around, the emphasized nonchalance and never ending optimism of everyone, the sunny weather, the ingenious modernist architecture, the film industry, the tourists and the shitty art museums ... perhaps, just perhaps everything about this city gets on our nerves. Despite, or maybe because of all of this, L.A. is a fucking awesome city, both in the Biblical sense and the slang sense. This staggering awesomeness is fucking undeniable!
The Slanted team wanted to meet Ed Ruscha to talk about his mysteriously seductive and motionless-looking reductive paintings. Unfortunately it didn’t work out, but his piece “Hollywood is a verb” inspired the three different titles/cover variations of this issue. They would also have liked to see David Hockney, who fled the austerity and gray oppression of England (an early Brexit) to Los Angeles to discover a sunny and hedonistic city. No dice there, either. But hey!, in a town like L.A. and on a production like Slanted’s, not everything has to work out. Often, the best things happen when they’re not planned, just as they did here.
They hung out with the wonderful actor Udo Kier and learned a lot about Hollywood and his life. They spent a superb evening with Sarah Lorenzen and her husband, photographer David Hartwell, who meticulously restored the Neutra VDL Studio and Residences, the home of architect Richard Neutra, and a number of other luminaries.
Illustrations, interviews, essays, and a huge appendix with many useful tips and the best Californian typefaces complement the issue thematically.

18 x 24 print of No.7 for sale at ericfreitas.com.
The final invested time came to around 1000 hours. The piece weighs over 100 lbs, and put quite a dent in my bank account. Sometimes it was tough to keep going on this one. When you're all by yourself, working really hard on something in an almost obsessive way, you can start to doubt your sanity. Now that It's done my sanity, the expense, the acceptance of the design or the sellability of the piece are irrelevant. It's a huge personal success for me to see a project like this to the end, and I'm happy to have it in my house.
Trust me when I say that there isn't a photo possible that can replace the experience of visually exploring this one. I've taken a handful of shots, but there's details, inside and out, that some people may never notice. The element of this clock that really made my arm work, and really stole the hours away, was the plates. I've never (and may never again) carved up metal that thick before, and I've never poured that much contouring per-square-inch into a surface before. It was a lot of grinding, but the result is a frame that has the accuracy of machining, with the free formed contouring of a casting. On top of that, I discovered a new element during the creation process that I really like, and will use again in future pieces. It's the clusters of screws, accumulating in almost barnacle-like fashion throughout the frame. It really adds detail, and texture to the surface; and it contributes to blurring the line between organic repetition and mechanical repetition. What I've definitely found up to this point is that the two fit very nicely together; better than expected I think. While I may make things that are more clear in form or narrative in the future, I like that the look of this one is a little more cryptic. You can't perfectly piece together a clock that once was, and it's not very logical why a given area is growing or decaying; it all just sort of happens in this strange flow of implied change.
I took the time to get a really good straight on shot of this clock so that an 18 x 24 poster could be made. I didn't want to have to enlarge the image in photoshop, because you end up with a soft image, and I wanted all of the detail in the gears to show up nice and crisp. To get the proper resolution for offset printing that size the file needs to be over 7000 pixels wide. If you own a digital camera you're most likely aware of how huge that is. I had to rent some professional equipment to pull it off, but it came out great!
A print of a full image of the clock is available in the shop on my site.
Jesse Hora is an art director, an illustrator and an Michigan native. He filled these Scout Books with fun, funky sketches and smart illustrations. A super sweet ongoing illustration project of his is Athlete Objects, in which he creates his interpretations of 1980s and 1990s athletes based off of their names, his childhood memories, and their Wikipedia entries. Pretty fresh!
