:: Welcome To Ribbons & Leaves ::

Named in tribute to the final song on Graham Coxon's 2004 long player 'Happiness In Magazines', and launched in Summer 2009, 'Ribbons & Leaves' is an online showcase for essays on music, film, art, literature, fashion, and society.

Each piece is painstakingly created on an antique West German typewriter (A 1966 Olympia SM9 Deluxe, as pictured above, to be precise) then scanned and uploaded to a worldwide internet audience. It's a beautiful balance of obsolete and modern technologies.

Featured articles are joint © of Ribbons & Leaves and individual contributors. All content is available for syndication.

New contributors are welcomed, so get in touch, buy us a beer, pitch your idea, and let's make it happen.
