Business Card Translation
郭大夫 Doctor Guo
针灸师 Master of Acupuncture and Moxibustion*
皂阜市大街23号 Zao Fu Shi Avenue Number 23
Notes:
皂阜市 is a bit of a mystery to me. I am assuming it’s some kind of joke, but I am not getting it.
皂 ‘zao’ can mean 'black’ or 'soap’
阜'fu’ means 'mound’ or 'abundant’
市 'shi’ means market
The problem is that you can’t just put these words together to make a compound noun like you can in English. 皂阜市 does not mean 'Soap Mound Market’.
If you have any idea what the joke is, let me know!
We have a winner! Thank you Ariaesfor pointing the obvious that I missed: Zaofu is the name of the city!
*Moxibustion is when you put tiny balls moxa (dried mugwort) on the acupuncture needles and light them.

John Toulmin is a busy man. It is surprising that he found time to get these cards printed.

“Hudson Made is an online retailer selling highly curated artisanal products from the Hudson Valley, North Country and Brooklyn. Small batches. Limited quantities. 100% American made.
Late-19th century influences of the Bates stamp and the classic practice of letterpress printing hark back to an earlier time, while maintaining the refinement and clean lines of modernity for this brand identity.
The branding also reflects Hudson Made’s emphasis on what is handmade, invoking nostalgia for a time past and a return to the simplicity of production limited to the human touch. Handmade crafts also guarantee each product’s utter uniqueness, and the impossibility of two ever being alike.”

When I’m not illustrating, I’m graphic designing!
Here is a design collaboration with VGX Design (project director and the biggest paper geek I have ever known).
The business card is specialty printed on silk with spot UV. The client is a painter by trade and initially wanted his logo to contain multi-color paint splatters. MANY concepts later, the logo became a Resplendent Quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala, to reflect his heritage.
