Love Book

Posted on January 28, 2009February 9, 2010 by Hijiri

I mentioned that I’m participating this project with Samantha Hann at Maquette in the beginning of the year and it is finally live! It was a “Love” book project — Samantha asked 25 artisits and writers to submit a piece inspired by their idea of love and I was somehow included (THANK YOU SO MUCH!!) and she just published them as a book on blurb!!

Here is an amazing list of contributers:

Hannah Stouffer, Lilly Piri, Aaron Hogg, Lisa Butterworth, Dan Funderburgh, Samantha Hahn, Erin Loechner, Jesse Breytenbach, Kate Miss, Jessica Gonacha, Kelly Lynn Jones, Yasmine Surovec, Shira Sela, Matthew and Sandy Lynn Davis (Treatzone), Maditi, Amy Sahba, Ez Pudewa, Hijiri Shepherd (me!), Marisa Haedike, Lisa Congdon, Holly Becker, Kate Neckel, Katie Sokoler & Kate Bingaman Burt

The cover (by Samantha – picture is taken by her, too)

Thumbnails of some of the work inside:

and….. my work!

My copy is on its way right now, I can’t wait to see the real book! You can order yours here, just in time for Valentine’s Day, it’d make an amazing gift!

Wood Type Poster Project

Posted on January 23, 2009October 12, 2009 by Hijiri

Rhian in London and I have been talking about this project since December last year and we finally agreed on this and I got to print with wood types — came out so nicely that I wanted to share it with you here, too.

My cheat sheet. Because all the letters are mirrored, it gets confusing when you are typesetting them so I printed this and brought it to the studio. It worked! No misspelling or upside down words.

The first 6 lines ï¿½ there wasn’t enough “W”s so I had to break the line.

On the Vandercook Press:

The last 4 lines — I had to set it from the end of the first 6 lines.

and end result…. here!

I’m so happy with this! Rhian seems to be very happy as well!

Wood Fire Woodie Website Design

Posted on November 25, 2008November 25, 2008 by Hijiri

I have been working on Wood Fire Woodie‘s logo, card and website this year and I am proud to announce that the website has been up and running for a while now! It was so fun to work on this project just like their fun concept and unique product.

It is a moving catering truck that is designed after American old Woodies that are often times loved by surfers and have surf board on top of the roof – so you’ll see inspirations throughout the site.
