A few days ago I received a box in the mail. This box contained the first samples of five greeting cards I did for JQ Greetings. Here are pictures of these cards. The fine folks at JQ Greetings wrote the copy and performed typesetting. Some of you folks have been asking me how to get your hands on these fine cards. I can purchase them at cost and sell them, but before I place an order I would like to get a general idea of those interested (besides Mom and Dad). Prices will probably range around $10 to $15 per pack (pack of 5), plus shipping and handling. So, if you are interested leave a comment below, or send me an email via my contact page.

Long before your Kindles or iPads books were printed on real paper and bound together. I know, sounds like a waste of paper, but it’s true! Here is an image of a girl from such time reading one of these old-fashioned books. She looks real focused, doesn’t she? This week’s Illustration Friday theme is “focused” so here’s my submission. It’s also available for stock use here.

It’s been a while since doing a fun, simple illustration in Adobe Illustrator. So, here you go. Not sure why I chose a clown. Clowns really don’t appeal to me that much.
