Blog cards
Britain's Hugh Macleod blogs at Gaping Void and also draws cartoons on the backs of business cards. The blog has become so popular that it's number 3 in popularity in Britain, and the cards are so loved that he is now selling them to bloggers and others who want a personalized cartoon on their business card. He created this one for super blogger Joi Ito and because so many asked for it he's now selling frameable prints. "Have you blogged it yet?" (Added later:) Correction, he's MAKING frameable prints. No word yet on whether any of the 50 prints will be sold to the public.
(This reminds me of the great T-shirt that was popular a year or so ago: it just said: "I'm blogging this". I wanted one.) posted by liz at 1:15 PM
