Andy: ?Beautiful Angle is a "guerilla arts" poster project in Tacoma, Washington. (So saith the project's Wikipedia entry.) They create striking combinations of images and texts, usually with words that are surprisingly and disarmingly sincere. Many of their posters are intentionally local, playing off of Tacoma's somewhat mixed reputation and yet always coming down on the side of love for the place—posters that couldn't have been made anywhere else. Terrific stuff.?

Nate
: ?Interesting residue from the process of creation (or, I suppose, manufacture—the two kind of blend in printing). Here's the photographer's caption: "This is in the basement of the building I work in. We used to have a gigantic press there. This is part of what remains." It seems like they didn't use (or at least smear) as much magenta as yellow, cyan, and (of course) black. I wonder if that's standard for print projects??
