My school hosts an annual christmas sale (click for more info) each winter, and this December is no different. For the occasion, my class has printed a limited edition series of postcards consisting of 24 different cards which can be purchased this weekend in the Aalto University School of Art and Design in Arabia, Helsinki. Price: 1,50 euros/ card. Awesomeness: endless.

All of us have created three cards each and mine show the following:
-an epic dog
-a startled and depressed cat
-evil monkeys

The sale is open today (1 pm to 6 pm), Saturday and Sunday (9 am to 6 pm). I'll be sitting by our table selling tomorrow! Welcome!
