I Heart U.S.A.

Venice-based shop Beauchamping sells really nice prints, and among them is this sweet patriotic map of the U.S.; very timely for the 4th of July (and they're a nice alternative to the whole red white & blue thing). They use a process called Xylene transfer printing to make these; it's similar to silkscreening but with chemicals. It seems like fun if you're the hands-on type. Take a peek here to check out how to do it.
