My new favourite
Could the Japanese possibly bring out any more brilliant magazines.... when will the addiction end?
Moe is my new absolute fave mag... all about children's literature, in particular, illustration. I can't get enough of it and wish I could get back issues. Every issue comes with a paper pull out of something very cool and has a 8+ page article on one illustrator.... plus so much more. This is one magazine where I really do wish I could read Japanese.
This is the adorable calendar in issue 1 for 2008.
An article on the wonderful Mitsumasa Anno and his book Anno's Journey
A N D this awesome article on Bruno Munari
Looking through this magazine actually gets a little overwhelming after a while... so much to look at, so much inspiration, so little time.....
I really should open up my fresh crisp new sketch book that Chris gave me for Christmas (covered in delicious japanese paper) .... problem being it looks too good to use.. silly I know... I like Keri Smith's solution to this popular conundrum... go right ahead and just ruin the first page... scribble all over it..totally go nuts... ahhhh now you can start sketching without fear!
That magazine looks great. How do you order that?

Oooh.. i have lots of Anno books - i used to covet them in the library when i was in primary school... perhaps that's where my obsession with this Japanese design aesthetic started?!

Yay! A calendar! I need one - the free one from the chemist just isn't doing it for me ;)

I read (well, viewed) the Anno books when I was a kid -- they appealed (and probably shaped) my sense of detail, like Richard Scarry's work. Recently I found Anno's USA in a secondhand shop -- snapped it up quick smart. What a beautiful way to look at history.

hi Carly, nice to meet you yesterday. sorry for the last minute intrusion. I remember now re this link you mentioned. Originally there was no active link. Perhaps that is why there was a little confusion.
your shop is great.:)
