Salvaging Scots
In the summer of 2007 I came across a collection of six prints of Scottish royal and military men at a Value World thrift store. The paper was yellowed, speckled with dirt and grime, and the colors had faded considerably. But I liked them. I bought them, took them home and removed them from their decrepit frames and set out to restore them. Here are a couple of them in their original state:
I began my restoration project excitedly but then the Scots lay dormant for a few years. Recently I had the time to finish them and now they look like this (click to see them larger):

Quickie: Public Display of Fantastic
Erin and her friends commissioned me (is it really a commission if your wife is making you do it?) to make a fun business card for their friend Alexa. She is known as “shiny” and her favorite color is probably glitter. And now she’s found herself in a good job and is getting all professional on us. Although she is getting some boring cards from work, her friends decided she needed something more personal and fun to do some networking on her own time.
The cards a clean and simple, two color and set in Bodoni and Yanone Kaffeesatz. The star pattern is foil stamped. We had them printed at Vistaprint because we didn’t need that many, didn’t want to spend that much, and wanted foil. And they turned out pretty good!
