The Wizard’s Hat Issue 2

Alakazam! Issue 02 is here. This issue of The Wizard’s Hat invited responses from some of today’s most prolific illustrators, artists, designers and doodlers including Mike Perry, Damien Correll, Jon Burgerman, Holly Wales, Alex Bec, Gemma Correll, Matthew Barnes, Andrew Ainger, Matthew Dent, Joel Evey, Jeffrey Bowman and Andrew J.Miller. The theme was ‘magic’ and all forms it takes.

Sea / GF Smith

Cor, Sea have been at it again. Fresh in the inbox was a very nice message from Rich at Sea accompanied by some beautiful visuals (sadly the ones above don’t do it the full justice). Apparently they have completed the latest Naturalis promo for GF Smith, and it is launching tomorrow

We’re told that the 24 page promo is printed on the GF Smith’s Naturalis Smooth Absolute White (330gsm/160gsm) and features Pearlescent foiling on the front and back covers. The launch is to be accompanied by a limited edition of 200 posters, also featuring foiled text.

The fifth in the series of ‘Naturalis’ from GF Smith features compelling photographs by celebrated Art Director Peter Saville and artist Anna Blessmann at the Tulis Russell paper mill in Fife. “I imagined something historic and craft-based,” reveals Saville, “but it was more like being at an engineering works or an oil refinery – miles of pipework, steam and noise. Very industrial and exciting.”

Naturalis x5 is launched on November 5th in Manchester. Contact GF Smith for further details.
