Edition #63 Notes

The summer solstice is here, which at Dapper Notes can mean only one thing: Dylan Goldberger is back with another collaboration (our sixth!). But we decided to turn it up this year and bring another mutual friend into the mix: David Gallo, a graphic designer, illustrator, screen printer, and photographer from Washington. David has taught me a lot on screen printing, and also on operating my letterpress machine.

For this three-way collaboration, we started with Dylan's anthropomorphized animals in a woodcut style, but instead of dogs, we turned feline and to a relaxing summer activity. David is an IRL cat dad of many, many cats, so choosing this theme was a no brainer. The cover illustration by Dylan features cats fishing, and also a teeny widdle fly fishing, of course a play on words, but also a super cute and serene scene.

David created several spot illustrations of bobbers, mostly feline-themed and with one hinting to a popular book series (iykyk). The spot illustrations can be found throughout the notebook, packaging, and extras, and Dylan also worked them into the cover illustration as well.

Fray level: Normal

Most Dapper Notes covers are made using fabric, which naturally frays with use. Each material behaves differently, and this meter will help you gauge how much fraying to expect from your notebook. Read more about fabric covers
