As a taster for the next Creative Forum, here’s a wonderful painting from Jim Kay, an illustrator based in Edinburgh. His site shows more of his drawings, paintings and sketches which, in my opinion are pretty stunning. The next forum, hosted by Jim will be taking place on Friday 27th November at 8.30am, follow the Creative Forum twitter to keep abreast of latest news.

Although it’s been out for the best part of a month now, the Warp records 20th anniversary box set (designed by Yes) is certainly worth mentioning again. The deluxe special-edition features new songs, older previously unreleased material from Warp artists and tracks selected as the best of the labels output by Warp fans. It also includes a beautifully produced book showcasing the labels rich design history along with an exclusive hour long mix and locked-groove vinyl set. I want one. Bleep

From the book-as-objet-d’art files comes a new version of There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly illustrated by Jeremy Holmes. The entire thing is a large illustration of the titular old lady, and the pages of the book comprise her torso and innards. So each time you turn a page, you’re looking at an x-ray view of the old lady’s stomach contents which, in this case, are delicate collage-style illustration by Mr. Holmes. Thanks to Drawn!

French design studio M/M Paris were in charge of designing this massive book on Kubrick’s unfilmed masterpiece Napoleon. Tucked inside of a carved-out book, all the elements from Stanley Kubrick’s archives that readers need to imagine what his unmade film about the emperor might have been like, including a facsimile of the script. This collector’s edition is limited to 1,000 numbered copies and you can order it here (thanks to Six)
