The World Of Stock Thank You Bags
Posted by Jakub
The Thank You bag is never really looked by anyone that doesn’t do design, it usually just gets thrown away but for me there has always been this appreciate for it. Like most things that are simple and that get tied into DDR/Cold War design, I somehow kind of enjoy the layouts of these.

I ended up tacking one to my door because I thought it looked so nice.

October 2, 2012 at 2:40 pmAs a curator, I am interested in getting in touch with these photographers to show these at our space — alas, their website makes it next to impossible to figure out how to contact them.
*Lesson to all artists: make it as easy as possible for people to contact you about your work!
