The cards are available at Papyrus stores nationwide.

Nate Williams was awarded a coveted Type Directors Club 2007 award in the hand lettering category for his work on the All Together Now Beatles CD compilation for kids by Little Monster Records. The CD is covered front and back with Nate’s wildly creative hand lettering and of course his illustration too. Look out for a new CD in the series from Little Monster Records who have recently gone independent, good for them!
