Tom, your website is fantastic! Your work is beautiful! Very contemporary and classic...
To answer your question - QLD is short for Queensland, the sunny state that I live in in Australia. You know NY is to New York... lol. Also, I have never seen a proof magazine offered at any of the Australian labs that I deal with however I can see how it would work, and I think that most people would love to have them like that to keep. Might look into it further.
