🕊️ Remembering Kazumasa Nagai / 永井一正
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Kazumasa Nagai, a visionary in graphic design whose work continues to inspire generations.
In our interview with him, Nagai-sensei shared his philosophy: design is inseparable from life. His LIFE series posters express “coexisting with all things”—where even the smallest detail carries meaning, and every line and dot reflects the rhythm of nature. He believed that true design awakens awareness of the preciousness of life and our connection to the world.
Thank you, Nagai-sensei, for sharing your vision and spirit. Your LIFE continues to resonate with all who encounter it. 🕯️

Hey Gang!
Super proud to announce/show the second book publication of the year I have been a part of.
@sendpoints_publishing got in contact with me a while back and asked if I would contribute to this wonderful book ‘New Graphic Beats: Contemporary Visual Music Design’
.
The book is a beautifully put together compendium of artwork within the music side of the graphic design industry, talking about the evolution of styles and cultural imprints from the mid 20th century onward and presents an extensive and categorised showcase of outstanding works across eras, styles and media.
.
It has been a great honour to be included and I thank Luca @sendpoints_publishing for asking me to be involved and to @wearevillagers and my good friends Darrin and Julie from @fpmusicco for getting me involved in the artwork what seems a lifetime ago now.
.
You can grab copies online via amazon, ebay etc or via select esteemed retailers, including Eslite Bookstore and TSUTAYA Bookstore.
.
If you have any purchase enquiries contact [email protected]
.
It really is a lovely chunky aesthetically pleasing book full to the brim with inspirational work, that would also be super useful to any young designer looking to make their way in this industry.

Buzzing.

《时令印造:中国印刷工艺图鉴》Aesthetic Collection: Imprinting the 24 Solar Terms into the Pages of a Book
✨A masterpiece that truly weaves traditional Chinese culture into the very fabric of a book!
🎨 This book does more than explain the solar terms—it embodies the wisdom of “timeliness” from paper selection to printing, with every page offering a contemporary interpretation of traditional craftsmanship.
📌 The editorial team spent over 1,300 days tracing the evolution of printing from the Tang and Song dynasties to the modern era.
📌 Selected 24 of the most practical and commonly used printing techniques from a pool of 60.
📌 Underwent 3 major revisions and 4 structural overhauls to detail five major printing methods: lithography, relief, intaglio, digital, and stencil printing.
📌 Visited printing houses and paper mills, gathering insider tips from industry experts.
All to create a book that offers—
✔ An accessible history of printing
✔ Learnable techniques for five major printing methods
✔ Practical inspiration for Neo-Chinese design
It’s not just a book—it’s a year-round journey through the aesthetics of printing on paper. 🍃
