zach and i printed for about 4 hours at spudnik today. my christmas cards are (basically) finished, in record time. spudnik is the best, everyone should go there or support them by buying their prints at the renegade craft fair. p.s. i'll be working their booth on sunday, dec. 6th, (and selling a few things) so come visit
