The PRINT Award for Milton Glaser: POP Book

On October 30th, I received an unexpected Fedex package. It was quite heavy.

When I started to open it, each step became more and more mysterious. The black wraparound, the golden box and when I opened the box, I found a heavy piece of marble nestled in silk cushioning, on top of which was a note on how to maintain it and a cleaning cloth. It turned out to be the PRINT Award for my book design of Milton Glaser: POP. In my long career, I've never received such a physically substantial award before.

The award weighs 6.8 pounds (2.9 kg) and measures 5 x 7.2 x 2 inches (13 x 18 x 5 cm).

Since I received it the day before Halloween and it was black, my first thought was that I could use it as a tombstone. But I am a positive guy and I thought, if I get a few more, maybe they could be the foundation of the Mirkokhamun pyramid or my new house.

Thank you PRINT Magazine for opening up the possibility of my future endeavours.

"Lune" by Hugo Pratt

My recent acquisition is a signed, artist-proof print from the portfolio Lune by Hugo Pratt. The subject is a little bit unusual for Hugo, but it is unmistakably him, with all his signature elements.
