Here are some things I’ve recently like enjoyed. Be sure to click on the images if you want to see where they came from! This made me laugh, I don’t think I ever seen anything else brag that the product was so new that the package design wasn’t completed yet. This photo by Heather Raye [...]
Letterpress Delicacies has this really neat Rainy Day letterpress card for sale. I love how their prints have such nice tiny detailed patterns.

I am amazed at how balanced and uncontrived these designs look, which is a lot harder to achieve in this type of work than you might think. I also love the [...]
