Since I didn’t end up getting a calendar for Christmas, I just bought this letterpress seasonal wall calendar from ave9river. A seasonal calendar is perfect for a calendar page flipping procrastinator like me. Ave9river makes very delicate and beautiful letterpress designs. I also loved her snowbird holiday card design.
Erstlaub, a musician/designer friend of mine, designed this humorous set of cynical Christmas cards. Although I’m not so cynical about the holidays, they still made me laugh, and I love the minimal black Helvetica bold on white design.

Wow, I’m blown away by these beautiful paper constructed typographic designs by illustrator and graphic designer Yulia Brodskya. These are sure to be a huge hit around the art and design blogs. Thanks to Holga blog where I saw it first.
