How to display?

Should I display these for the summer? Or save them for the next 4th of July? Right now they're in a plastic envelope. I normally keep cards in a binder but these feel ✨too special✨ to just put in a binder.

Happy 250th Birthday, America 🎂 I made a "greeting card."

  1. FREEDOM™ — now a hollow shell. Open it up, nothing inside.

  2. DEMOCRACY — preserved in a glass case. Everyone's taking selfies. Nobody noticed it's dead.

  3. Mount Rushmore, updated for 2026 — four CEOs in top hats.

All AI-generated, no post-processing.

Gift wrapped and ready for the White House 🇺🇸.

St. Andrew’s Church in Kyiv on a Soviet postcard, 1970

This is an old Soviet-era postcard showing St. Andrew’s Church in Kyiv in 1970. I love how the postcard captures one of Kyiv’s most recognizable landmarks before the modern tourist era.

St. Andrew’s Church is an 18th-century Baroque landmark designed by Bartolomeo Rastrelli, and it remains one of the most iconic views of old Kyiv.

Risograph printed a miniature photo packet also containing a cassette

I worked with a local risograph studio here in Ohio, Cereal Box Studios, to recreate a piece of media I've always loved... a souvenir packet of miniature photographs that was common a century ago.

This was film photography I took in Japan last year. The packet itself was also risograph printed and die-cut. It was all designed to hold the 18 photos, the cassette, and liner notes together neatly. In the end, it is about the size of a pack of cigarettes.

The tape is audio field recordings I took on a portable cassette tape player of those exact locations. You can look at the photos as you listen to the field recordings. Very lo-fi at its core and I found that risograph of the two colors lends well to the faded sounds of the cassette field recordings.

It felt like a fitting tribute to use risograph for a project focused around Japan.

If anyone would like one, pass me a message 😄

I know they’re not in the greatest shape, but what should I ask for them as a lot?

Vibe of post crossing

When you haven't been to the post office in a while, but you regularly write postcards to cheer you up. I hope everyone who receives them will be pleased😊
