New card posted in the etsy store!


The last of the "ugly people" inspired cards is up...

Now I actually have to start making new designs.  If you have any ideas for cards, or keep looking for a certain type of card but can never find it, leave it here! Some of my best drawings have come from random, obscure comments that people have left in requests for cards.

For example:
Angry Bear began as a custom card for a friend. I always ask questions about the recipient, such as, what do they like to do, what do they hate, tell me an anecdote about them, and how do most people describe them.
My friend described his brother:
 "He likes Canada. He really likes Canada. Like bears and shit. Oh! what about a bear, like drowning in a lake of honey..."
A bear drowning in a lake of honey was less aesthetically pleasing as I was drawing it out, but there's something about that stance they get when they are up on two legs that is so amusing/frightening.

So please. My brain works overtime on weird 24/7, and sometimes it doesn't want to work in the right way. But I'm trying.

IN THE MEAN TIME:

The etsy store is extra beautiful as it is filling up with exciting things!

IN ADDITION:
I got boxes! I made a gift set! It is quite nice. There is a set of four cards in a box, it will sell for $20. (that is an $8 difference from purchasing the cards individually.)  Pictures/posting to follow.

IN THE FUTURE:
Stefhan and I are going to Japan on Tuesday.
