    I created these coasters at the last minute for the Badger Palooza event last week @ SXSW. The variation pictured here— with the text "admit one only" — were handed out as tickets (which was the original intent for creating these). There are lots of little details that you can see in the attachments, e.g. the hand-lettered HBDC initials for the corners.

    Printed by Evolution Press in Seattle in 3 days flat. They don't give a shit.

    Those coasters are sick. I'm so happy I snagged one on the way out of the party!

    These look great!

    Fascinating that it's barely received any attention, considering all the garbage that you see on the front page all the time.

    @Emir Ayouni Thanks, Emir! I think for a small period of time it did make it to page 4 or 5 in the popular section when I released them. Popularity algorithms are a crude science at best. Follower counts, followers' follower counts, etc. tend to weigh in much heavier in calculating popularity (as they should, I think, since the keyword here is 'popular'). Popularity on most sites often don't have anything to do with actual quality of product (at least 50% of the popular pictures on Instagram are hot girls). Then again, the notion of a true aesthetic score is hotly debated in philosophy, too, so I suspect this will always be an approximate science when it comes to software applications.

    Love your work, btw. I thought I recognized your name from somewhere. It was the Lost Type Coop Specimen book (Dude). Amazing work otherwise, as well. :)
