camo, by photographer thandiwe muriu, is the first publication to chronicle the work of this international artist, celebrating the vibrant portraits she creates that combine cultural textiles and beauty ideologies. muriu takes us on a colorful, reflective journey through her world as a woman living in modern kenya as she reinterprets contemporary african portraiture. as the sole woman operating in the male-dominated advertising photography industry in kenya, thandiwe muriu has repeatedly confronted questions around the role of women in society, the place of tradition, and her own self-perception. these experiences inspired her personal project of cultural reflection: the Camo series.
what does it mean to be vulnerable and defiant at the same time? in deeply grateful and entirely unsatisfied, author and artist amanda happé poses this question with disarming honesty and humor. her colorful marker drawings and quirky hand-lettered sentiments offer an idiosyncratic take on life's challenges, reminding the reader that "you are the sign you've been waiting for." brimming with compassion, empathy, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, deeply grateful and entirely unsatisfied is, in happé's own words, "so good it's odd."
from the wildly popular Instagram account, disappointing affirmations hilariously counters the culture of relentless toxic positivity with a realistic take on a disappointing world where failure is always an option, but that’s okay. pairing lovely vacation photos taken by the author himself with sayings that are amusingly self-critical, encouraging, disillusioned, or all three at once, tarnowski points to feelings commonly unacknowledged or hidden and spotlights them with humor, wit, and empathy. you can do it! but you probably won’t. but also: be kind to yourself, asshole. transforming and re-envisioning the material for print while adding tons of new work, this is the funny-because-it’s-true, sneaky self-help gift book for anyone who isn’t happy all the time and doesn’t feel seen in the whole “positive mental attitude” culture.

The wise words of science fiction icon octavia e. butler live on in this beautiful and giftable little volume. “there’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. there’s no magic bullet. instead there are thousands of answers—at least. you can be one of them if you choose to be.”
originally published in essence magazine in the year 2000, octavia e. butler’s essay “a few rules for predicting the future” offers an honest look into the inspiration behind her science fiction novels and the importance of studying history and taking responsibility for our actions if we are to move forward.
organized into four main rules, this short essay reminds readers to learn from the past, respect the law of consequences, be aware of their perspectives, and count on the surprises.
this unique gift book is a reminder that whatever someone may be going through, they always deserve flowers. when it's the most difficult to find the right words, we turn to flowers to express our compassion and care. this book is like a bouquet of flowers in book form. based on tucker nichols's celebrated multimedia art project entitled flowers for sick people, this book gathers vibrant floral paintings and pairs them with poetic dedications that pay tribute to a kaleidoscope of human experiences, from acts of unsung heroism to mundane moments of everyday beauty: “flowers for anyone currently eating a cinnamon bun in a hospital cafeteria,” “flowers for the last time you laughed so hard it hurt,” “flowers for spectacular failures,” and more.
