Here's to 2013!

2013 was a big year for Beutler Ink—we hired a bunch of staff, we did some incredibly cool projects, and we became the company that we are today. But 2013 was also a big year for the rest of the world. Miley twerked! The world got a new Pope! Yahoo! bought Tumblr! Okay, maybe that's overkill on the exclamation points…

The point is that 2013 was full of fun, exciting, and memorable stuff. We wanted to do something cool to commemorate the year that was, so we tapped the illustration awesomeness of Mario Zucca to make an end-of-year pop-culture-and-news mashup, highlighting some of the events and people that made 2013 what it was. Check it (or buy it)!
