I’m not sure which cover I like most, but Michael Gillette has made it bright and beautiful again, this time illustrating the Bond Series for Penguin Books. Probably Surely the best Book covers Publishing House in the world. More here.
(sorry, I know I’m a bit delayed and it’s out for a while, but I only caught the track Michael Gillette’s blog today.)

Sven Brasch - danish poster designer - 1886-1970
SVEN BRASCH was born in 1886 in Sealand, Denmark, the son of a master house-painter. After finishing school, he worked in his father’s firm, and at the age of 21 he had his first drawings published in various small magazines. By 1910-1912 he had become a wellknown designer of posters and drawings in the Danish magazine world. During World War I, he produced his first movie posters. Througout the 1920’s he made himself a name as a dandy, a handsome and elegant artist in Copenhagen’s high society. In his most productive period he made a poster a week, besides many commercial drawings. At the Paris exhibition in 1925, he was awarded a gold medal for his brillant posters. In the well known year book “Posters and Publicity” the author Sidney R. Jones wrote in 1926: “…The Danish designer, Sven Brasch, is producing some of the most distinguished posters of to-day…”. In the 1930’s a new generation of artists began to appear, and by the time World War II broke out, Brasch had almost no work to do. His last commercial drawings were presented in 1956, after which there was silence about his name. He died in 1970 84 years old, in Glostrup near Copenhagen - almost forgotten…..
Good to know that Wallpaper Mag is spotlighting The good’ old Portuguese traditional products (in this case beauty products). These are becoming very “Fashionable” today and seen in the selective shops all around the world, something I wouldn’t imagine of when I first met Catarina Portas, who’s been collecting and re-collecting these forgotten and almost dead products that are part of our parents and grand-parents generation, under the name of Uma Casa Portuguesa. Beautiful Packaging. // (Retro passion aside) :)
