I’d like to welcome Portuguese artist and designer, David Carvalho (aka Hello Karpa).



David has been creating since he was a child, and has designed everything from logotypes to skateboards. David launched the first design related PDF magazine, Camouflage, in 2002 and has participated at exhibitions in London, Paris, Bruxelles, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tokyo, Barcelona, Lisbon, Porto, Milan, and São Paulo. Check out more of his work at Hello Karpa.

His new Moleskine design, “Diamond Ruin”, can be purchased at Engrave Your Book

Checkout the new laser engraved Moleskine designs at Engrave Your Book by UK illustrator, Will Scobie.

The design on the right is called “The hands that took control”, and is typical of Scobie’s one-line illustration style. According to Will, “The majority of my work is based around creating images using one initial line. I incorporate this technique into my drawing, collage and digital work.” To see more of his work visit Reverie Create

Besides engraving custom images on Moleskine notebooks, Engrave Your Book is curating an artist series of engraved designs. If you think your art would look good on a notebook cover, submit up to three pieces; if we like your work, you’ll earn 15% every time your piece is engraved.

I recently finished translating my sketches of flowers into a functional laser-cut acrylic chandelier. I decided that a hanging flower would work best as a chandelier, so I went with my mental image of a Bluebell flower. Turns out that my mental image was way off compared to the real Bluebells, but so much for reality…

I began by scanning in my sketches, tracing over them with a digital tablet, and refining the curves. I then chose to use 1/16″ clear acrylic, and created rings with slots to hold the 16 identical pieces that make up the outer wall of the flower. Before firing up the laser, I made a digital proof in illustrator by revolving the shape and viewing it as a wireframe.
