Juno Hamburg

Words by Alex Bec, Friday 16 April 2010

A bit of a noteworthy emboss here by Hamburg’s Juno studio for Arctic Paper. I can’t understand a whole lot of what’s been written, but you don’t need any words to be impressed by the intricacy.

Work / Publication Bendik Kaltenborn talks us through his retrospective book, collating ten years worth of work

Bendik Kaltenborn is a name many of you will recognise. Maybe from the regular praise we give him on this very website, maybe it’s the visual language he has applied to Todd Terje releases, or even work for commercial clients such as Aesop. The illustrator has been freelance for the past ten years, and while studying for a Phd at the National Academy of Arts in Oslo he has taken the chance to reflect. “I wanted to take the opportunity to look back and try to figure out what the heck I’ve actually been doing,” he tells It’s Nice That.

Work / Publication Robin Laananen's photographs of Warpaint are a warm documentation of friendship and touring

The opportunity to take a glimpse into what happens on a band’s tour is always an exciting invitation. Looking at photographs of your favourite musicians hungover and sleepy eyed from the night before, taking a nap while travelling cross country, or celebrating post-show, positions these characters who seem so far out of reach as familiar.

Work / Publication Maccabees frontman Orlando Weeks returns to illustration in new book and album

Orlando Weeks, the former frontman of The Maccabees, has always been able to portray a narrative. However Orlando has spent the past year paving a new path — or rather wandering back down an old one — in a new visual, audible project The Gritterman, a book written and illustrated by the artist, accompanied by a piano-based album with narration from comedian Paul Whitehouse.

Work / Publication Inside the archives of the Ministry of Defence’s UFO desk

It may sound like a story fresh from the pages of Harry Potter, but the Ministry of Defence’s UFO desk was actually established under Winston Churchill. For 60 years, the UFO desk collected and archived witness accounts of unlikely airborne objects from members of the public.

Features / Publication The makings of Roald Dahl’s My Golden Ticket, a new book revisiting Wonka’s fantastical world

When the Roald Dahl Estate approaches you to create its first new story since the original iconic books, you know you’re on to a winner. Last year, this is the call the Wonderbly founders received, and hence began its vast undertaking My Golden Ticket – a step back through the gates of the Wonka Factory for a new generation of readers.
