The relationship between paper goods and the holidays is notoriously strong. Everyone has dealt with trash bags full of wrapping paper and cheesy Hallmark cards. Tad Carpenter’s silkscreened cards — and set of four “homies” — playfully capture the spirit of the season. Who doesn’t want homies for the holidays?
[Ed.’s Note: We are happy to welcome our new intern, Lauren Dickens, she’ll be posting often on FPO.
