This book is a tribute to the original adidas models, the so-called ‘OGs’original adidas basketball, tennis and running shoes from the 70s, 80s and 90s.

This unique illustrated book presents legendary trainers as well as athletes and musicians who adidas has memorialised with their own shoe models. Interviews with sneakerheads, collectors and retailers illustrate the ‘magical’ development of the brand.

About the illustrator: Joni Marriott was born in Berlin in 1985 and now lives in Saarbrücken. She studied communication design there, started a family and moved into a studio. Together with Birte Spreuer, she wrote and designed the book ‘Worklove’. A philiosophical book of questions about living and working well. Together they make a weekly Spotify podcast.

365 NEW DAILY DRAWINGS. / FOR ALL THOSE WHO LOVE IRONIC OBSERVATIONS WITH A TOUCH OF PHILOSOPHY.

Joni Marriott loves to depict complicated and abstract content as clearly as possible, drawing in analogue and ink in the tradition of ligne claire. Her poetic and surreal illustrations inspire clients worldwide, including well-known newspapers and magazines such as the New York Times Magazine, Greenpeace, the economist, Spiegel and many more.

Since 2015, she has dedicated herself to the on-going project ‘Daily drawings’ in addition to her commissioned work. Every day, she illustrates a feeling, an event or a thought from her life, preferably by combining delicious impossibilities. These drawings are created quickly, tell a lot and each viewer can read his or her very own story in them.

Match the ‘real’ creature to each drawing.

Find the ‘real’ creature for each drawing. Like most children, six-year-old Dom drew whatever he liked - animals and people, cars and boats. At some point, his father Tom had a wonderful idea: he used Photoshop to turn the children's drawings into lifelike pictures.

What began as a small fun project between father and sons has since developed into something much, much bigger. The Instagram page with the same name has amassed a following of over 900,000 people from all over the world since its first post seven years ago.

With the world's first memo game we can now playfully explore this wonderful world with our children and friends.

SKI RESORTS!

Second edition

Skiing connects people. Based on this motto, graphic designer Peter Erlach had an idea in 2022: a quartet (and mini travel guide) that presents 32 legendary ski resorts and pistes, accompanied by the most important facts and figures.

The selection of 32 ski resorts is based both on the personal memories of the author, who grew up skiing in Austria, and on the destinations that are still on his wish list. Each ski resort is presented on a map with an informative photo and all the important key data. This makes it easy to discover 32 of the most beautiful and spectacular ski resorts.

There is also an accompanying booklet that goes into even more detail about the resorts. Special attention is also paid to the quality of the photos. All photographers are listed with their name and website, so you can discover even more impressive winter sports photographs.

This book, now in its 10th edition, has truly become the ‘bible’ of skateboard decks from before the turn of the millennium. The author guides readers through the culture, art and madness of the skateboarding world with a wealth of knowledge and experience. While the skateboards take centre stage, exciting stories and memories from well-known skateboarding personalities such as Tony Hawk, Mike Vallely, Mark Gonzales and Stacy Peralta provide additional context.

The skateboards in ‘The Disposable Skateboard Bible’ are organised by decade: from the 1960s, when the first deck designs emerged; through the 1970s with the groundbreaking introduction of urethane wheels; the 1980s with its ups and downs, big decks and the mass market; to the graphic chaos of the 1990s and the start of the new millennium.

For over 30 years, Hermann Vaske has been exploring the creative stimuli of the world's most fascinating artists and thinkers. A personal journey of discovery through the various facets of creativity: artistic, intellectual, philosophical and scientific. Vaske confronted a thousand creative people from various creative disciplines and more than 100 Oscar and Nobel Prize winners with the question ‘Why are you creative?’

All participants created drawings, artworks and autographs for the project - some very personal, others bizarre. Vaske turned this into an exhibition that was shown in Europe with considerable success. Among others, the exhibition was shown at the Museum of Communication in Berlin and Frankfurt and at the Espace Miramar in Cannes as part of the Cannes Film Festival.

100 of the most interesting and fascinating responses have been summarised in this book.

About the author:

Hermann Vaske is a director, author and producer. He has worked with actors such as Dennis Hopper, Harvey Keitel and John Cleese as well as artists such as Marina Abramovic and Vivienne Westwood. His films have screened at prestigious festivals such as Venice & Cannes and have won numerous awards, including the Grimme Prize, Gold Clios, Cannes Lions and New York Festivals.

“Remember, the term ´pretty’s what you see and feel. It comes from within.”

In a male-dominated world of nude photography, Sarah Zak's work breaks down stereotypes and creates a space for the unique beauty and power of women.

After her successful first photo book ‘sarahlikesprettygirls in Berlin’, she chose Mexico City as the setting for the second volume. The city fascinated her with its colours, energy, history and architecture. There she met and portrayed numerous women - locals and travellers alike. Each photo was captured on 35 mm film, creating an ‘analogue imperfection’ that, in addition to the natural aesthetic, also creates a special closeness to the women photographed.

Born in Germany, she started her career as a hairstylist and make-up artist before discovering the world of analogue photography in 2016.

From the very beginning, her main theme was clear: beautiful women. With passion and a love of travelling, she found women from all over the world who were willing to show themselves in front of her camera. What began as a hobby slowly developed into a larger vision.

Today, Sarah focuses primarily on her project sarahlikesprettygirls. In addition to her publications on social media, with a wide reach and notoriety, she now also works with galleries and other artists around the world.
