Welcome to Optimism

Book crit image-01
After three years, four months, two weeks and six days, Hollie Newton is hanging up her sequinned book crit gloves.

It's truly a sad day.

But don't worry, there's a bronze lining.

Instead of lovely Hollie, you will be getting us — David and Ollie.

We hereby promise to do our best to fill her sparkly boots and jazzy frocks.

Just don't expect gardening advice.

So, if you want a book crit, drop us an e-mail.

It's [email protected] and [email protected].

And we'll be seeing you and your ideas soon.

Try not to bring us a book of just ads.

We like to see other stuff too.

Bring us tapestries if you're into tapestries.

Angry letters to flatmates and noisy neighbours are always fun to read.

Even funny text messages.

Whatever floats your boat.

Whatever you're passionate about.

It matters.

Evelin Kasikov in the L Gallery

This
month the L Gallery at Wieden + Kennedy presents Evelin Kasikov.

Evelin creates truly handmade graphics. She employs the craft
techniques of embroidery to create typographical illustrations firmly rooted in
her graphic design background. She uses typography, grid systems and
design techniques to create work at the very cutting edge of contemporary
craft practices.

Alongside
this, Evelin has developed a CMYK cross-stitch technique that creates printed
images with needle and thread. She has started work on a
pantone book using this method.
