I have never had the desire to play a video game until now ....
Title Quote: John Masefield
"thatgamecompany was founded in the Spring of 2006 by Jenova Chen and Kellee Santiago, two graduates of the University Southern California Interactive Media MFA program. They had worked on several projects together, including the multi-award winning student game, “Cloud,” and decided to continue working together on small, experimental games by forming a game studio that would focus on these projects. At TGC (thatgamecompany) our goal is to make video games that communicate different emotional experiences the current video game market is not offering. We encourage innovation and experimentation and believe that our creative games will appeal to new, yet untapped, audiences." -That Game Company

Title Quote: William Carlos Williams, of e.e. cummings
UPPERCASE - About the magazine.
"A magazine for the creative and the curious"
"We're inquisitive: learning from other artists, illustrators, designers, photographers, filmmakers and musicians, whether they're upstarts or icons, famous or shy, verbal or visual.
We're inspired: enchanted by great ideas and strange inventions; by colour and pattern; things fancy and frugal; the charm of vintage in a modern life; the ridiculous and the sublime.
We're adventurous: traveling to destinations both real and imagined, peeking into creative spaces and discovering magnificent people and memorable places.
We're eclectic: curating souvenirs, collecting treasures and celebrating the extraordinary in the everyday.
We're playful: delighting in visual amusements, intelligent distraction, entertaining wordplay and sweet indulgences.
We're UPPERCASE: a magazine for the creative and curious!" -UPPERCASE

"You don't need to read it to understand why this piece is called 'Ever stopped to wonder what makes something beautiful?'. The timeless swirls, curves and flourishes intertwine elegant, fluid lettering to produce a striking answer to the question posed within the artwork. And, for added pleasure when the lights are low, the phosphorescent ink glows in the dark..."

IN CONTRAST TO OUR LAST POSTER, THIS ONE TAKES A LIGHTER TURN. WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO ARE INSPIRED BY THIS PROJECT TO...
IN FACT, WE CHALLENGE YOU. WE DARE YOU. WE DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU. WE DOUBLE-DOG-&-RAISE-YOU-A-LOST-CAT DARE YOU."
Sometimes, becoming pensive, a flower
recognizes us
and pursues us with attention that is
almost audible.
It's as if she knows our footsteps
--approaching, leaving;
she who vanishes on the spot,
is she amazed by the audacity
of one who takes this leave?
-Rainer Maria Rilke

"We are sitting in our cozy home studio listening to music and crafting beautiful things from paper. We are fascinated by the stranger parts of nature and use images from the natural world in the things we create. We are enamored with vintage ephemera and constantly hunting for "treasures". We recycle whenever we can.
Most of all, we are happy to be doing what we love. " -Secret Leaves Paperworks

Somersaults™ Life Archives
your life – full circle
"The genuine little details of everyday experiences when collected and curated add up to the eternal essence of our loved ones’ lives. Hand-me-down moments with the click of a shutter become frozen in time and our hearts. Sand between our toes. Tears of joy at the alter. That certain aroma from the back seat three days into the trip. The impossibly soft strip of satin on that tiny blanket. Fresh cut grass filling our every breath. The nervous first kiss and lingering last dance. Our dreams, loves, fears, triumphs and defeats captured in sights, sounds and words to be relived for generations. Somersaults™ Life Archives collects and protects all of your moments and memories in artfully produced products designed to make sure your loved ones’ lives come full circle." -somersaults

"Each of these stunning prints have been hand letterpressed by Doug, directly onto old maps of the UK! The diversity of these maps and the printing method combined means that each print is truly unique."
"And all the names of the tribes, the nomads of faith who walked in the monotone of the desert and saw brightness and faith and colour. The way a stone or found metal box or bone can become loved and turn eternal in a prayer. Such glory of this country she enters now and becomes part of. We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves. I wish for all this to be marked on my body when I am dead. I believe in such cartography-to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings. We are communal histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste or experience. All I desired was to walk upon such an earth that had no maps." -Michael Ondaatje

"Sugart's innovative iTea wand is a single serving tea package with a built in filter system. It is designed to just drop into hot water and brew.

"...image stream and information resource devoted to the art of luggage labels and related travel ephemera. Luggage labels are fascinating bits of hotel history from the golden age of travel, roughly the 1900's to 1960's. During this time these labels were used by hotels as advertising and eagerly applied to steamer trunks, suitcases and all sorts of luggage by hotel staff, mainly bellhops."

"Romain Chevalé lives and works in London. He is a designer and an illustrator. Connecting divergent temporalities, most of his work suggests the articulation of multiple stories. However, their meanings and/or their functionalities link up in one main purpose : the emotional longing for the past."
