A little place to add a bit of what my inspiration throws out. Little sketches and bits here and there.

My first 100!
Yesterday I woke up to an amazing surprise. Friends of mine actually donated 100 dollars to my gofundme! I almost choked on my cereal when I read the email. As it is, that is enough for 200 cards and colored ink for the printer! 100 down 150 to go! But, if there's more then brilliant! That means some special edged cards as well!
Sooooo....... donate! Or pass the word! Please! Go Fund Me! Please!

The Dragon
The Dragon
The Dragon is a beast of unimaginable depth and
power. The Dragon, if you are able to
connect with the beast, lends strength, knowledge, and courage to face what may
come. They are teachers, guardians, and
guides. They will not tell you straight
up what you want to know, they will lead you to discover what you need to know
before leading you to what you want to know.
Ruler of all the elements these creatures hold power over
fire, earth, air and water. They know
and connect to the world around them because they are as old as the elements.
They use their instincts to restore themselves and in turn restore you through
the use of the elements. If you’re in a
creative funk their guidance may help push you toward the path you should be
going to get yourself out of it.
In essence, The Dragon will guide you, guard you, and
inspire you. Keep them close and they
may be able to show you things you’ve never noticed before.
If you would like this card as a print I do have some at my store EJCrouse. Please, check it out!

Card Example 6
Info here to what exactly this card is and what I need from you guys. The Curls Creatures set of my art was a very cathartic when I was making them. They not only come in black but I can make them in any color anyone wants. They are very simple and elegant.
If the greeting cards do well I would really like to be able to set up a small studio at some point where I can screen print several prints of these.

Another one for the Unitarian Universalist Church. I just felt like they didn't have a lot of art for them and decided to try my hand. I may not be part of their church but I do like their beliefs and what they stand for. For those of you out there who are part of the UU please, tell me what you think and throw out ideas to me. I love suggestions!

GoFundme! Pass it on!
One day my brilliant partner and muse came up with the suggestion of actually creating blank greeting cards with some of my artwork. Thought about it and thought about it and took it to heart and figured, why the hell not!
So, with a few designs, a few estimations and a bit of testing. I think I finally have things down to the basics to try this out! They are going to be wide and varied sources, probably mostly nature and fantasy, with a bit of fan art if the moment is right. There will also be some UU cards as well seeing as there seems to be a large lacking of cards for the church out there. And while I may not be part of the church, I would like to give something to them in the form of some art and cards that aren't out there for them.
The cards will start out as blank cards, the only text, if any will be on the outside of the card and part of the art work. Further down the like I'd like to incorporate text into the inside but that's going to be a little while coming.
The estimated 250 dollars is the cost covering 400 cards to start out, ink for my poor, poor printer which is running excruciatingly low, shipping and product packaging. If I raise more then it also goes to a printer that will be strictly for printing cards only. If I get even more then I can branch out into cards with pre-colored edging! Which to me is very exciting!
The cards are the typical 5" x 6 7-8" and come with envelopes. Fluorescent White or Ivory. I can work with the announcement sized cards as well which are 3 1/2" x 4 7/8". The paper is a very nice, rigid, 80lb paper that has a wonderful feel to it. I've run several test prints and the colors are amazing.
So, please look into it and if you don't donate at least pass the link on! It would be a great help!
