The peeps at My Paper Cuts come up with cards for fictional and insignificant occasions. Regardless, these nameless affairs will mean something to someone. But don't worry about spending money, these cards come free. All you need is paper, printer and a trickle of imagination.

Tie Love

I am in love with this collection of ties from Sovereign Beck, founded by Ryan Sovereign and William Beck, both graduates of The Rhode Island School of Design. Drawing upon both the traditional and the classically abstract ideals of tie design, the Sovereign Beck line of neckwear was created. With the concept of giving a new expression to conservative menswear, Ryan and Will have fashioned a line of ties that can be both understated and provocative, classic and cutting edge. Every design has been carefully realized by the artists to be not only timeless, but also a statement of individuality.
