Usually, [...]

Hangin’ Pictures On My Wall

March 31st, 2007 · No Comments

I stumbled upon a Chicago design firm’s website recently. Coudal Partners describe themselves as an “ongoing experiment in web publishing, design and commerce.”

Right now, they’re doing something called “Swap Meat.” They receive lots of unsolicited creative stuff in the mail and usually return the favor by sending out some of their own goods.
