i art u: Ben Javens // swap shop

posted on: January 28, 2011





some friday feel-good-art for your bones. if you're familiar with ben's work, you've probably already seen the beautiful cartons he designed for 8th continent soymilk (check out their fun site!) at your local grocery store. ben posted a fun "swap shop" post back in november--he still had yet to see his cartons in flesh. all you had to do for the swap was send him one of his cartons and he would send you goods from his shop. best swap i've ever done! ;)


i got the package in the mail this week! loved the packaging...and of course the personalization! thank you ben!

  8. my husband and i ADORE those milk cartons. admittedly, we purchased that milk simply because of its awesome artistic packaging. that is certainly a sweet swap and i'm glad you got to be the benefactor of it!
