Etsy Tuesday : Neilsen Handmade Physics Journal
This. Is. Awesome! Using discard books and recycled paper, these journals from Neilsen Handmade are handcrafted, collaged, and stitched to make some pretty snazzy pads of paper. I just love the layout of this cover, the title, and that spider web type stitching at the bottom. Fantastic!

Illustration : Charley Harper
Probably most famous for his various illustrations and painting of wildlife, Charley Harper was an American artist with a great sense of modern style. Old Navy, of all places, recently had a whole collection of toys and games using Harper illustrations, including a coloring book, matching game, and animal/letter cards. I fortunately picked them up...
Vintage Cereal Boxes at Target
Quipped over at Speak Up, General Mills is re-releasing a bunch of their vintage cereal boxes for a retro feel at Target. According to TheDielIne.com, they released boxes for Cocoa Puffs, Golden Grahm, Weaties, Trix, etc. These are awesome and a great idea! Though I do wish they could just lay off the “Vintage T-Shirt”...

“I Can Read Movies” Book Series
Mitch over at SpaceSick has created a whole series of AWESOME “novelizations” of movies in vintage book cover style, and they are just great. Everything from Space Jam to Mean Girls to Temple of Doom, these book covers convey the film and a certain quality that you only though you’d find on an old Penguin...
Movie Titles by Saul Bass
In the grand, accidental tradition of postings, here’s another one about Movie Title Sequences that is one of the best. Saul Bass created the classy titles for some of America’s greatest films–West Side Story, Anatomy of a Murder, Vertigo, Pyscho, Goodfellas–and the people over at Not Coming to a Theatre Near You has put them...
