today i have some really exciting news - print & pattern is going to be turned into a book. back in february i was approached by top publisher laurence king about the idea of turning the subjects of this blog into a book, i didnt want to go public until i had signed the contract but at last the deal is done. needless to say i will be looking for designers who would like to be in the book, i'll publish all the details up sometime next week. im just in the middle of sorting out an email, ftp site , and postal address for you to send to if you want to contribute. the aim of the book will be to celebrate the creativity in surface design and stationery today (often overlooked in the world of books). we'll hopefully feature patterns, cards, papergoods, scrapbooking, textiles, ceramics, badges, in fact anything with a great printed surface.stay tuned next week for details on how to submit your work.
im thrilled to be working with laurence king, a fantastic publisher who have produced, amongst others, all the great books pictured above : wall paper, play pen, patterns, and badge button pin. in the usa the book will be distributed by chronicle books.
