Etsy Shop Feature + Giveaway- Ink of Me

November 1, 2014 by Katie Smith 34 Comments

World Word Map - Refuge and White Framed

Today’s etsy shop feature is Ink of Me by Preston Dean. I love the map inspired prints he creates! Here’s more about Ink of Me:

We sell Word Maps, Typographical Posters, and Stencil Portrait Prints.

I am an architect with a passion for graphic and print design. I love minimalism and typography. I am inspired by simplicity and words.

I began designing word maps as prints to decorate my geography loving son’s bedroom.  I made a USA Word Map and a World Word Map to help him easily find and remember where the different states and countries are located.  I began selling the customizable designs online, and have since added several other countries and maps with inspirational quotes integrated into the design.

I strive to find ways to create personal and unique prints from simple forms and the manipulation of text. To create art as a way to commemorate significant events and memories.

Nearly all of my designs can be customized and personalized. Let me create the perfect gift for your wedding, anniversary, birthday, baby shower, house warming gift, or something to keep for yourself.

Preston from Ink of Me Graphics would like to give away a free print from his shop.  Any print, Any size.

How to enter- Just leave a comment here with your name and email! I’ll choose a winner on November 9th.
