Alberto Cerriteño’s Enamored Whale

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Just when I decide to express my undying love for letterpress, Alberto Cerriteño does something awesome. He has created 250 letterpress prints of his Enamored Whale illustration and is selling them on Etsy.

Alberto Cerriteño + letterpress. It all makes sense now… Indented, inky, beautiful sense.

Dear, Letterpress. I heart you.

Deer Portrait Letterpress Flat Card on Etsy by letterpress

Ken Garduno’s cool zine thing

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009

Ken Garduno is one of my favorite artists, and I ordered this zine from him and it arrived in the mail today. It’s full of drawings of his and a few of his friends. He even included a little sketch for me! No, Ken Garduno, thank YOU for being so awesome.

I was skimming and became confused but then I figured it out: the polaroids show the products, decals, in use. What a neat way to present the product. Harmonie-intérieure.

GIANTS! by Pietari Posti

Sunday, October 19th, 2008

The image above is my favorite from the series GIANTS! by Pietary Posti. Ok, I lied, I love the whole series. Zebras are just awesome. (This animal is probably named something else but I don’t know what that is.)

When the Day Breaks
