Hey there, I'm Alex. I'm a designer in southeast Michigan that enjoys programming, screen printing, and riding my bike. I currently work as the Senior Web Designer for the University of Michigan College of Architecture and Urban Planning.

My favorite fortune cooke fortune ever says "There is no secret to success except hard work."

I keep it in my wallet.

Another Czech stamp from the archives: Following up the last Czech volleyball themed stamp is another volleyball themed stamp this time from two years later.  This stamp from 1966 commemorates the founding of the Volleyball World Cup in 1965. The somewhat-art-deco somewhat-cubism illustration is interesting.  Again, check out the detail of the engraving work, great stuff.  The artwork and engraving on this stamp are attributed to a K. Pekarek and a B. Housa.  I couldn’t find any info on Pekarek but B. Housa is Bedrick Housa, whom apparently worked at the Czech Graphic Union as a graphic designer (perhaps?) and as a very talented engraver.
