Graphite
There is something distinctly visceral about graphite art, where every stroke of the artist or illustrator seems to convey emotion in its purest form. At a time when almost everything can be digitally done up to perfection, the smudges and smears by graphite can be refreshing to the eye and unapologetically human - touching viewers to the core. As a creative tool, it can also be the simplest and most affordable medium with which to express oneself and find joy.
GRAPHITE is a stunning collection of pencil artwork by creatives around the world who have skilfully mastered the art of drawing by hand to make their mark. Featuring various subject matters and styles, it makes for a beautiful addition to the bookshelf and invites you to step away from your screen every now and then to, perhaps, pick up a pencil yourself and appreciate the simple things in life.
PALETTE Mini 09: Nature
Whatever your taste in colours may be, there is something truly special about nature's palette. Whether it is the warm brown tones of soil and bark or the lively shades of green, red and gold as leaves cycle through the seasons, we will always be drawn to the distinct hues of our planet on an instinctive level - after all, 'from dust we came, to dust we return'. As such, it comes as no surprise that many artists, designers and brands are inspired by these hues to bring their creative visions to life.
Palette mini 09: Nature is a compelling compilation of projects from around the world that have been brought to life by the rich spectra of Earth. From brand identities and packaging design to one-of-a-kind art pieces and visual experiments, it features the variety of impactful ways with which familiar colours from our natural environment can be applied to leave meaningful and lasting impressions.

I know Kung Fu
Known for its deft stunt-like movements, ‘kung fu’ is a form of Chinese martial arts that originally referred to any study requiring patience, energy, and time to complete. Over the last few decades, it has exploded in mainstream culture, due to its influence and appearances on Western screens, as well as the proliferation and growing interest in Eastern cinema. In fact, it has been said that the definition of ‘kung fu’ as we know it today can be attributed to mistranslations of subtitles or dubbing!
I Know Kung Fu! takes an intriguing look at the stars and shows that have made it what it is through the bold and characterful drawings of Hong Kong cult illustrator Rex Koo, who was inspired by ‘kung fu’ flicks from the 1980s and 1990s. Coupled with bite-sized information on famous techniques/weapons and comic strips, it is a must-have collectors’ item for fans of the martial art and those who wish to see it through a new lens.

Packaged for Life: Chocolate
Packaged for Life: Chocolate features a delectable collection of creative packaging design work for one of the most popular snacks in the world today that even the ancient Mayans enjoyed!
In our haste to consume the things we love, we often disregard or discard packaging without a second thought. While many would argue that they bear no significance or should be done away with in our quest to save the environment, there is a lot more to packaging design than meets the eye. On top of conveying a brand’s personality, purpose, or message meaningfully and embodying its contents in ways that catch the eye, a seemingly ordinary bottle or box can become an artist or designer’s canvas for extraordinary creative expression.
Along with the fun facts in the accompanying booklet as per previous editions, the projects serve as morsels of inspiration and visual treats as appealing as the sinfully-delightful product itself.
