Move over greeting card moguls…

key-to-my-heart-no-textEach time I go to the store to purchase a greeting card I stand and stare.  After a couple minutes my shoulders are tense, my arms are crossed and I’m either bored or frustrated.  I can’t find the right message or, worse yet, I can’t find a good blank one.

I’m a fan of the simple greeting card.  Rarely is my work simple but when I illustrate I love a light black flowing ink line with a touch of watercolour.  I like a simple message, if a message at all, that leaves the meaning to the recipient.

My pen of choice for illustration is the tul rollerball that I buy in large quantities in Office Max.  My favorite watercolour brush is the 1″ red sable with the clear handle that I purchased in the art school book store 20+ years ago.  It is still serving me well.

I hope you enjoy my newest greeting card illustrations and find a simple message to send to a loved one.

Each illustration is reproduced on acid free white card stock, adorned with a swarovski crystal and includes a white recycled paper envelope. The inside is blank for your message or available with custom text.  $2.95 each.
