Just taking some photos the other day!
Here is our big/scary/awesome paper cutter.
And a lovely piece of art that captures what a printshop feels like sometimes.
So. Much. Paper.

One of our other favorite fresh summer tastes is pesto. I usually make a batch and we enjoy it on; homemade pasta, pizza, toast, vegetables, etc. My pesto recipe is very simple, I use walnuts or pecans instead of pine nuts because I always have some in the freezer.
FRESH SUMMER PESTO
1/4 cup of walnuts
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 1/2 cups of fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup good olive oil
3 T. butter
1/4 cup romano cheese
salt & pepper to taste
Add walnuts, garlic and basil to food processor and process until finely chopped. Drizzle with 1/3 cup of good olive oil and process until combined, add 3 Tablespoons of butter and pulse until blended. Empty contents into bowl and stir in cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Allow to rest for a few hours before serving.
Mia Christopher sent us three Scout Books brimming with juicy, colorful stuff. She brightened our week, and we hope that checking out this series of expertly experimental illustration has brightened yours. This Scout Book is the third in a series of three; be sure to see the first and second.
Itching to own Mia's work for yourself? Find it online at Arrow to Arrow, Renegade Handmade, and at Little Paper Planes. There are some original paintings in there that I'm eyeing...
Thank you to Mia for sharing the insides of her Scout Books with us!
Ina Weise is a young lady with quite a bit of creative experience under her belt. She is currently an intern at The Post Family, but before calling Chicago home, she studied in Austria, Poland, and her native Germany. Her command of geometric shapes is astonishing, and her work spans mediums from textiles to printmaking to apparel to installation. Her installation at the Post Family's Family Room Gallery will close this week; if you're in Chicago, stop in to celebrate the closing of her show The Following of One Thing After Another.
Ina explores circles in this pocket notebook, incorporating pen, pencil, cut paper, collage, xerox transfer and woven paper.
We printed this great Scout Book a few weeks back for the newly-formed Portland social group Whiskey Friends. This loose group of friends will meet regularly in dark basements to drink spirits and take notes.
The project comes from Panic's Mike Merrill and other collaborators.
Cheers!
Luke Ramsey is awesome. He creates beautiful, intricate pieces of artwork that include zines, murals, paintings and prints. He also runs Islands Fold, an independent publisher and artist residency in B.C., Canada.
We ran into Luke last summer at the Portland Zine Symposium, and saw him sketching in a Scout Book! Quickly gave him another, and within weeks he had filled it up and sent us images. At long last, here is what the fantastic Luke Ramsey did with the 32 grid pages of a Scout Book.
Awesome! Thanks, Luke.
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!

Alex Fuller makes beautiful, bright, bold work. In addition to being a partner at The Post Family, Alex is the co-founder of the Illustration Corporation and helped create Ogilvy’s brand design group, 485. Alex, you're a very busy guy!
We very excited that he took the time to fill this Scout Book so expertly with collage work. We even see some letterpress bits and pieces in there!
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.
From Dave Selden, the creator of 33 Bottles of Beer and 33 Bottles of Wine, with a little help from Chris Tacy and Brent Fortune, comes 33 Cups of Coffee. And none too soon as the Winter months are in full swing! Nothing comes close to a piping hot cup of coffee when it’s chilly out.
In true 33 Books fashion, this journal comes complete with a flavor wheel and list terms, demystified.
Last week we sent a bunch of Scout Books to SXSW in Texas with @rohdesign and @austinkleon for their Visual Notetaking 101 Panel.
These guys take awesome notes, and they designed this pocket notebook to offer you a chance to create beautifully illustrated notes, too. The cover features illustration exercises for better notetaking.
Count yourself lucky if you were at the panel and received one of these! They ran out right away! Collectors item.

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!
Numbered Notebooks! This box set of twelve Notebooks with Blank pages is numbered 1-12.
The type on this pocket-friendly and stylish pack is set in House Industries’ luscious Worthe Numerals. Printed in classic black ink on Chipboard.
Nothing like a touch of class to spruce up a full year of lists, scribbles, and to-dos!

Ever since Mr Chiots and I mentioned that we were building a teardrop camper people keep asking for photos. We were joking the other day that no one really believes that we're doing it, much less that we'll have it finished this month. Here's some proof for all you who keep wanting to know how it's going and keep asking for photos.
Mr Chiots has been spending a few hours almost every evening out in the garage cutting, sanding, wiring, measuring, nailing and putting together the little camper. The garage is filled with formaldyhyde free plywood, aluminum for skinning and various shapes and sizes of lights and other things needed for the build. We're building it out of all no/low VOC & natural materials.

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.

“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.

These skeletal Scout Books were created by Matthew Trevaskis of Hola Pistola. The image on the books was created from one of his favorite etchings by his favorite illustrator and artist, José Posada. Living and working in Melbourne, Australia, Trevaskis has plans for more pieces honoring Posada to accompany these Scout Books.
These cookies aren’t you typical gingerbread men/women. If you don’t like spicy things, you will not like this version. This recipe has as least double the spices of most recipes and I always use blackstrap molasses to make the flavor even stronger. If you’re a fan of spicy gingerbread you will really appreciate the flavor in this version.

These were created using a Kaleidoscope program but I consider them mandalas. Each one is as unique as a snowflake even though they are made from the same image. In most cases I stopped myself at 10 versions. LOL My favorite part was what it did to the text and how I could morph it into something else. After a few moments of working with the slider I was able to figure out how to manipulate specific parts and bring out more color or more texture in different places.
Made using my Collage Daisy in conjunction with KrazyDad's toy.

This recipe is simple to make and really inexpensive as well. An SLS free non-toxic toothpaste can run $4-10 per tube, since this costs less than 50 cents per batch you’re saving a bundle!

Vance Reeser makes animated films, creates images, crafts websites, and writes a blog. He so expertly filled up this Scout Book with some amazing character sketches–and a collage treat at the end. Not to mention the first time we've ever seen the Scout Book used as a mask! Bravo, bravo Vance! Great innovation. Great sketches.
Find Vance's work here, on his website. One project we're particularly intrigued by is a short animated film Vance is creating called the Beast of Black Lake. He used Kickstarter to fund the project but is still accepting backers to help propel the project towards completion.
We're pretty sure we'll be seeing loads of great stuff from Vance in the near future.

The embroidery too bumpy, and the doors wouldn't close all the way, so I used green star stickers to keep them closed. Next time, I'll make two sets of the door layers and sandwich an unembellished one with the doors cut off so it's a layer of just portals. When the doors on the top layer opens, it will truly be more like a little diorama inside. 5th Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap of 2012 Theme: Discover
