A few of my posters

Here are some of the posters I've been designing lately with some of my own quotes/sayings mainly. I'll add more interesting quotes in the future, both by me and by others.

3D printing - Greek vase shapes


You've probably heard about 3D printing in the news.

It is an interesting technology, though still in my opinion more expensive than it would be for mass-produced items. However, it allows anyone to rapidly design (and, via various online services, also to offer for sale) any item that one can think of (and be able to design using a 3D program).

In general, anything that can be offered through a print-on-demand system I find interesting, since one does not need to produce a lot of items and keep stock in advance. That, in a way, is also a drawback, since the items tend to be more expensive (no mass-producing) and people usually have to go online to check for the products.

In any case, here are my first 3D designs I uploaded to an online service (Shapeways). They are based on the Greek vase shapes for holding, mixing and/or drinking wine.

Melting Colors - free ebook update

Hello.

Since the first edition in 2013, my free ebook "Melting Colors" has been updated periodically.

In addition to poems selected from my other books, a 'Thoughts' chapter was added in May 2013 (and updated in successive versions). With the latest update I added a new chapter: "Short poems" that, for the moment, contains haiku poems (but may contain other short poems in the future).

To get the book go here (available for free in various formats, such as epub, pdf, kindle, txt, rtf, etc):

Poezi Moderne - libri im i trete

Libri im i tretë me poezi titullohet "Poezi Moderne".

Është i ngjashëm në përmbajtje me librin tim të parë "Vizualet jo Vizuale", që do të thotë se nuk përmban vetëm poezi romantike si libri im i dytë "Iluzione Pasagjere" por është më i gjerë (poezi filozofike, për natyrën, për jetën, politike, etj). Është gjithashtu më i madh se librat e tjerë (më shumë poezi, më shumë faqe).

Mund ta gjeni në adresat e zakonshme të Amazon (amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.it, amazon.es) për versionin e printuar. Gjithashtu libri është i disponueshëm në version elektronik (ebook) për Amazon Kindle (vetëm në anglisht).

Uroj t'ju pëlqejë!

Modern Poetry - my third book

--

"Modern Poetry" is my third poetry collection.

It is similar in content to my first book: "The Visual Non Visuals", meaning that it does not only contain romantic poems like my second book "Passenger Illusions", but is more broad. It is also larger (more poems, more pages).

Check the usual Amazon sites (amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.fr, amazon.it, amazon.es) for the print edition. It is also available for Amazon Kindle (ebook edition on Amazon).

Enjoy!
