Volume 2 makes the cover!

So the UK visual arts book publisher RotoVision contacted us earlier this year about inclusion in one of their books. We were flattered and excited and sent them images, but shuffled it to the back of our minds and basically forgot about it. Until today that is. Jeremy happened to think of it and looked on their website to see if there was any news on the book. Imagine our surprise to see one of our planners on the cover! It doesn't come out until April, so who knows if this is the final cover, but we were pretty stoked all the same. Thanks RotoVision!

Event: Jo Dery Book Release & Signing


Join Jo in Providence tomorrow, Saturday, December 20th, from 6-8pm at Ada Books (717 Westminster Street) for her book release and signing for Quietly Sure - Like the Keeper of a Great Secret. Should be a good time had by all!

For those in SF, we just finished putting up an awesome window display she made for us so come check it out! Elements from the book make appearances as painstakingly-made handsewn plushies and screenprinted cut paper. We have some of her amazing prints for sale too, including a very limited hand-painted screenprint that has scenes from the book. Here's a glimpse...



And if you're in Chicago on January 3rd from 7-8pm, Jo will be at one of our favorite stores, Quimby's, for a fun event!

Water and Fall



It seems appropriate that we should receive our latest release, a wonderful little book of drawings by Martine Workman titled Water and Fall, during a wet winter storm. Water and bodies abound in many forms in this booklet and Martine's drawings are inspired, spontaneous, and humorous. It's the perfect stocking stuffer for the art-loving adults in your life!

Order by December 15th for delivery by the 24th*


Rumor has it that The Little Otsu Film Diary makes a great gift at only $12.

If you place your order by December 15th, you should receive delivery in the continental US by December 24th. Orders placed by December 19th & shipped via Priority Mail should also be delivered (in the continental US) by December 24th. ***These dates are not guaranteed as USPS does not guarantee delivery dates. That said, it should still work. You can also contact us for expedited delivery options.***
