In the post: Print from Sandra Dieckmann

This is why twitter is great. I was just nonchalently browsing and @sandradieckmann tweeted that she had some prints to give away because they’d printed wrong, apparently.

David Fullarton – Illustrator from San Francisco

I found David Fullarton’s work a while ago now (I’ve completely forgotten how I came across it, possibly just from my own mintynet meanderings, possibly from another blog) and I’m finally getting round to posting about it.
