Card 12 | Phil Hollenbeck

These cards come with both a story and an explanation. Phil sent me the original postcard back with a weird message and a blank square labeled, “first pass”. A couple of days later, I got a pink envelope with this little square (above) inside. I first met Phil when he set up his DSVC publication, Rough, at the Summits, and later at the DSVC Conferences. AIGA Austin’s Design Ranch ‘05 was a time that we hung out more, and he even befriended a group of us in Dallas at the 2006 DSVC Conference and took us out to a really neat bar with his lady friend.
