Coudal.com does what they call the "Swap Meat" where they accept anything in the mail from anyone and they'll mail back something in return. I sent them a painting of meat and they sent back all this stuff. The T-shirt says, "reading is good for you" and has a picture of a guy on the toilet. They also sent some buttons, a sticker, a custom deck of cards and some bubble gum. |
