House Industries Eames Collection (L) and Satans Bride by Neck Face (R)

I came home yesterday to find House Industries’ Eames catalog waiting for me within my stack of mail. I usually toss most font catalogs away, but House Industries always seems to do a really good job creating shelf-worthy font catalogs. From the paper, packaging and down to the editorial content, their catalogs are prime examples good branding using good design.

Also within my stack of mail was a package containing Satans Bride by Neck Face (Published by KAWS). I missed out on this book a few years ago but was able to purchase it through the AndPress webstore. Eric Elms, who runs AndPress was the Art Director behind this book along with Gary Fogelson. They still have a few left in stock and I suggest purchasing them soon before you’ll have to pay bazillions on eBay. Eric Elms is also a San Diego native (which is also pretty cool) now living in New York designing under his Adorn Studio.

The Kleeman and Mike issue was given to me by its writer and illustrator, Randall Christopher. This issue below is a collection of snippets from various Kleeman and Mike comics between 2001 and 2005. Visit Kleeman and Mike to check out more of their adventures.

And Monocle. I buy this publication every month. It does a good job taking me to places that I can’t afford to visit. I really enjoyed their Museum Pieces report (pg 101-108).
