Over our Christmas break we were lucky enough to spend some time in Berlin and catch the Tomás Saraceno, Cloud Cities exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof. Alison managed to overcome her fear of heights to climb 20ft in the air and ‘float in space’ in the huge domes!

Have a look on-line now to see all the new treats and our excellent selection of Christmas gift suggestions - from stocking fillers to something more special!

Image maker extraordinaire Nick White came to Brighton town recently and was nice enough to drop off some of his work to the LMNOP shop. We were so pleased about having our grubby mitts on the illustrated wares of Mister White that we decided to catch up with him so we could interrogate him about his infamous media collection, his high functioning funny bone and where he sees himself in the next ten years time…
LMNOP Birthday Party is now on 30th of September!
We have changed the date from the 23rd, please come on the evening of the 30th to help us celebrate with drinks, cakes, maybe even cheese and pineapple on sticks. We will have Alice Patullo’s new book, Climb to the Crown and she will be creating our new window display.
Join us from 7 ‘til 9!
Recently we contacted Faye Moorhouse, D&AD best new blood winner 2011 about getting our eager little mitts on her Catalogue Of Hoarding Related Injuries zine. She kindly came to visit us here at LMNOP and dropped off a batch which now can be purchased now in our Brighton store and very soon on our online shop here.
It’s wonderfully macabre and beautifully produced. Here is a photograph of Faye’s production line of the zines on her blog.
CLOSING DATE IS THE 14th OCTOBER 2011, WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON FRIDAY THE 21st OF OCTOBER FOR FULL INFORMATION VISIT LMNOP SHOP HERE A Year of Self-Motivation, is exactly what we all need. Self-motivation is a constant battle; you have a dream! Unfortunately you also have a day job, and if only you could turn the TV off and start *delete as applicable* drawing / writing / practising / training it will happen. Help us all to help ourselves - what keeps you going? We are not thinking awe inspiring sunsets, no, what are the small things in life which aid your day and keep you motivated, what are the distractions and how do you battle them? We are looking for a 3 colour illustration around the theme of self motivation. We will judge the submissions on their own merit, not your previous CV or client list. We are looking for illustrations which amuse us and ring a bell of truth about the struggle we face as ambitious, creative people, who are alas, only human and sometimes lazy and easily distracted. We are also looking for people who can work creatively with the Risograph process. 12 Submissions will be chosen to feature in the calendar, which will be sold in our own Brighton and online shop and some very exciting selected shops (more details coming soon on this). Each winning artist will receive two copies of the calendar and will be fully credited within. There will be one overall winner chosen with the help of our guest judge (to be announced soon) they will receive a RISO Print Gocco Kit, especially delivered from Japan.

We really wish we had visited the A4 paper convention in Sydney, Australia “which offered audiences insight into contemporary developments in paper by means of ground-breaking paper installations, lectures and workshops.”
Also an excellent excuse to go to Australia - paper & sunshine = happy us!
We are really excited to have Marta Chojnacka’s beautifully rendered brooches in our shop. Marta created her own brand, MANOLO, that specialises in unique pieces of jewellery. We have in stock Francesca, Gloria, Nina and Lulu. All four girls flaunt seductive detail and texture.
We have more lovely pieces from the talented Claire Hartigan in the LMNOPShop. Sweetly illustrated bear and bird key rings that would make lovely gifts.
Despite being closed for a much deserved summer holiday for the past two days- LMNOP is open today for business! Come and visit us to peruse our wonderful collection of illustrated goods.
