my first card series
This weekend I’m going to test out some of my fabric illustrations at Bozeman’s Saturday Farmer’s Market. My friend, Carmel (who makes awesome jewelry!) said she’d share her booth with me if I’d like to do some fund raising for my Walk to Defeat ALS effort. So I made up some cards and I’ll donate the proceeds from this weekend to our Walk to Defeat ALS team, Steve’s Wobbly Knees!
Hopefully I’ll get some feedback on which cards (if any) people like: My own tastes tend to be pretty weird!
I’m gradually putting these up on my Etsy store. I would love to hear some topic suggestions, if you have any ideas for me!
I’ve been toying with the idea of some Valentine cards based on photos from the figurine collection in my ever-evolving kitschatorium. I wonder if anybody else shares my weird figurine and shitty photography Valentine aesthetic…
These photos seemed a little too populated to be valentines, so they became party invites…
Okay, I actually did one other very small creative-ish thing over the holidays, which involved messing around with my passel o’ vintage fabric scraps and my Cintiq (now in off to the Cintiq repair shop, by the way — the screen kept crapping out whenever I restarted my computer!).
I used this cutesy birdie art on some note cards and bookmarks. It was fun playing around with the colors using the selective color adjustment in Photoshop.
Why, when it’s 8 degrees outside, am I drawing wiener dogs, romping among the flowers? This is another vintage fabric illustration experiment, using my cintiq. The collars are a little clunky looking, but not when I put GLITTER on them in the printed version! Glitter makes everything real good.
A Grand Adventure - Vintage Fabric Illustration
I just finished this illustration for the Bozeman Yarn Shop’s 2010 holiday card. Barb makes these up into Christmas cards with a knitting pattern on the back and gives packets of them to her first 40 customers on the day after Thanksgiving. (She sells them, too.) This illustration is a continuation of last year’s picture, which showed the same animals knitting and weaving (how the heck they do it without opposable thumbs is truly a Christmas mystery). This year they’re exchanging the gifts they made. I look forward to drawing Barb’s holiday cards each year. Now, if I would only get to work on some for myself…

Just incase anybody was curious, here’s what last year’s card looked like.

I’m trying out some ideas for holiday cards but I can’t decide which I like best. Too cutesy? Too negative? Not negative enough?
