Books are podcasts you listen to with your eyeballs.
This E-book is the visual ‘catalog’ for a collection of 400 Printable JPEG signs you can use however you’d like.
This one is free because I'm awesome.
Use the pages as art, stickers, iron-ons, protest signs, social media posts, inspirational notes to yourself, GO NUTS! They are yours to keep, use and print infinitely.
Please use your love wisely.
Manic Publishing sells collections of design graphics that are unique, fun to look at, stand on their own in book format as a pop artifact, and might be useful to artists, craftspeople or total beginners looking for inspiration in readymades.
Poster artists, Etsy store owners who have run out of ideas, Cult leaders, traveling snake oil salespeople, all are welcome if your intentions are good and your money is green.
I'm shocked, offended, and somehow I bought every single book!"
I think this guy is a little nuts... but the books are fun and the amount of stuff you get is ridiculous. Highly recommend.
Ummm... is it legal to marry a book yet? "Clip Art for Witches and Poets" gave me a reason to craft again.

If you can share your work but don't want any outside input or criticism, you might be an artist.
If you can share your work and accept outside and input and criticism to make things better, you might be a graphic designer.
I am an artist who strives to be more like a graphic designer. I don't look at each thing I make as a precious object anymore, I let them go (for a fair price).
This all started when I set out to make a portfolio so I could drag it around and maybe get a job in a new creative studio.
When I started unpacking various boxes of experiments in my design attic, I realized other people might have some better uses for the piles of stuff I have created and collected.
When I was younger, the wild part of my brain had a hard time completing projects when the next shiny idea would inevitably take over. Getting older has brought patience and organizational skills. I finish things.
So I gathered up the creative bits, sorted them into groups and created a series of books that other people can take apart and use the ingredients as starting points.
Each book is a stand alone idea connected to the others by my madness and thin tendrils of logic.
If you work as a creative or just make stuff for friends, you have been in the corner I started in, called "zero budget" aka, "go make something from nothing".
I made a bunch of nothings to give you a head start. Download and remix them for your own projects.
