Beautiful Bargains: Mandate Press

If you're looking for a deal on letterpress business / calling cards, and you're okay with black as your ink color, you might want to try Mandate Press. You get a box of 250 cards for $95, but now, they're offering them on sale for $75! Amazing. You even have the option of supplying your own design if none of their templates strikes your fancy. I could see tons of freelance designers going wild with this option! Turnaround is 2-3 weeks and ships out of Utah.

Gallery: Peter Callesen

I thought the most fitting artist to spotlight on our first Gallery posting is Danish artist Peter Callesen. He's one of the artists I stumbled upon about a year ago and whose work always leaves me speechless. Taking humble sheets of A4, he transforms them into intricate, narrative pieces of art. Below are just a few examples of some of his beautiful work:

Alive, But Dead (2006), Peter Callesen

Holding on to Myself, 2006, Peter Callesen

Eismeer, 2006, Peter Callesen
