Hand Illustrated Greeting Cards by Familytree

October 22, 2012 // kristen // 0 replies

I really enjoyed the Monster Friends and Japanimals artist series posters from Familytree, and I’m so excited to see that they’re branching out (no pun intended) with a fantastic new collection of illustrated greeting cards. The four designs in the collection feature super cool, hand drawn type and illustration by Alex Pearson, and the cards are screen printed by Kangaroo Press in deep red and blue inks onto French’s 100# Speckletone paper. Check ’em out!
