A few weeks ago, our paper rep from Zellerbach/Xpedex contacted me about a promotional project they were working on, a gift box of mini-prints on sustainably harvested paper in celebration of Earth Day, and asked if I'd be interested in participating.
The deadline was insane, so I pulled out my sketchbook and thumbed through to see if I had any ideas that would fit the theme. Fortunately, sustainability and stewardship are both things I think about a lot, so I fleshed out a sketch I had done a while ago, and had finished art off to our rep in about three hours.
Today I got a sample print back and I'm pretty stoked. The Mandate Press handled the job, and I'm really chuffed at how my drawing turned out letterpressed — I was nervous about the size and metallic ink; had I known Mandate was at the helm I would have just chilled out about the whole thing. I have no idea how the kit is being distributed, so I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for any details.
In the meantime, remember kids: if you have the option, always ask for FSC certified papers for your projects, it's one of the only ways to secure a sustainably produced sheet, and has a profound impact on the environment. And put out your campfires. And don't talk to strangers!

I've made myself available via email, twitter, or by phone, so feel free to drop me a line regarding just about anything. However, I'm a big fan of signal over noise, so why don't we just keep our Facebooks and our Linkedins to ourselves?
