Re - Joyce!

Here's a fun little quirky Bloomsday survival kit to help you unravel the so-called mysteries of Joyce's classic "Ulysses".  (Bloomsday is this  Sunday June 16th for those not up to scratch on their Joyce!) It contains this beautifully illustrated pocket sized manual which helps you figure out what's happening in the story, get ideas of what to do, what to wear and places to visit, and a bunch of fun and interactive props to help bring Ulysses to life. There are also these  limited edition prints of the illustrations from the manual available to purchase as singles. See here for a list of stockists or you can purchace them online here.

And if you really want to get in the spirit how about this event;  Ulyssess Rocky Horror style!

Glow

Grainne Lyons makes these flat-pack colourful light shades. You self-assemble each shade from 12 individual modules that slot together to form a 400mm sphere structure. And when lit they create the most beautiful unique shadow patterns. But their best detail is that they are reversible. So you can choose which side to display out front to suit your mood - or get twice the fun.  Pretty nifty!  You can find them for sale here or here.

The Design Tower

Housed in an historic 1862 old sugar refinery in Dublin's Grand Canal Quay, the seven-story Design Tower is home to a group of skilled designers and makers. Brimming with some of Ireland's top creative talent, you'll find goldsmiths, jewellery designers, ceramics artists, sculptors, painters, textile, paper and painting conservationists and gallery spaces. This five minute film opens the doors to the studios and introduces you to some of the personalities, stories and bespoke designs created in the tower.

Bags of Chat

These cheeky slogan carriers had me at 'douche- bag'! Hand-printed by MeandEmee, otherwise known as Irish sisters Louise and Emer O’Leary and topped with colourful Italian leather handles, the girls quirky collection includes other pun-tastic expressions such as scum-bag, a dirt-bag and bag-lady.
See for yourself here.

The Brave Beast

We've been really lucky over at the Damn Fine Print Studio to land our latest collaboration with one of Ireland's top illustrators Chris Judge. Chris's latest project is the new adorable childrens book 'The Brave Beast' the follow up to last years hit The Lonely Beast. To celebrate the launch Chris has enlisted our help to produce a set of five limited edition-ed screenprints entitled Beastly Hobbies. Here's a couple of snap shots from the studio.

30 editions of each print will be for sale from the March 01, from here and if you are in the Dublin Area next Saturday March 9th, the book launch at the Lighthouse Cinema promises to be fun-packed beastly affair!
