Ole Bull

Ole Bull isn't a brand of chaw. He's a Norwegian violinist. I can't speak to the quality of his playing, since it was played before recording technology. But these portraits from the Bergen Public Library are pretty nifty, illustrations and photos taken throughout his career. This is my favorite, a nineteenth century business card.

I think that whenever I get around to making my own business card, it will be just like this. Just swap out the violin with a Wacom tablet.
