    What a nice collection :) It’s so rad how you give other designers some attention and “spotlight” if you will by featuring their works in posts like this. Way cool of you. That’s why I loved this blog when I first visited, not to mention seeing your super artwork as well. I really liked your typo wallpapers. My Thompson Twin from across the pond he he. My brotha from anotha motha. He he he. :)
