'Man vs Ink' is a printmaking company owned and operated by former Tyler School of Art student Fred DiMeglio. Based in Portland, Oregon, the vibe from the Northwestern city is certainly reflected in his work. The peppy, earthy and artsy designs that DiMeglio creates will lift even the most sullen spirit.
One of Man vs Ink's most intricate design is the 'Portland Pop-up Post Card,' which would be a thoughtful souvenir to take back home from any Portland visits.
