Very gorgeous effect.

The work of Mr. Boddington has a very old world style. Wax seals, hand calligraphy, presidential looking design are a part of the feel of the studio. Overall a very stately yet fun effect. The work shown in the booth was incredibly tactile with quirky typography from both typefaces and hand lettering. This booth was one of my favorites.

The work at Que Stien is so delicate with beautiful and intricate borders and detailed illustrations of botanicals. Great colors… it’s what I remember most about this booth. I also remember the fantastic quality and crispness of printing. Gorgeous stuff.
