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!

gofundme! Please!

Well here goes nothing....

So, I finally got off my butt and decided to throw something into a shirt design contest.  It's not a guarantee I'll even get into the contest to the voting section, but we'll see what happens.  I'm hoping I'll get at least a couple votes....  Who doesn't remember Daria and Sick, Sad World?  That's the shirt design that I chose thanks to my lovely girlfriend who suggested it.  I like it a lot.  But we'll see.

They also have a contest for The Lion King which I plan on putting one in for that one if I can.  I mean, come on, why not?  I grew up with The Lion King being my most favorite movie for the longest time.  I don't know what I'm going to do yet though.  I want something freaking epic.

I hope my tablet lasts that long.  I think it's slowly going kaput.  Poor little bastard.  It did so well for a while.  The pen is going though and I think it'd be worth more just to get a whole new set up rather than deal with just getting a new pen seeing as my specific tablet is kinda the old model.  Again, poor little bastard....

Anyway, if my design gets up I'll post a link here and on facebook so people will vote for it!  Please please please go for it!  I'd really appreciate it!

Later guys!

Well, just a regular post! Sorry folks!

So, after gaining a job, hating that job, finally getting another job to make more money to actually pay bills and then losing that first job, then the other because it's seasonal.... I finally have a job I'm moderately ok with for now.  I like it though I've never been fond of working till 7 and that's my schedule next week.  Not excited but it's a job that pays above minimum wage.  And it's direct deposited into my account. So that's even better!

I really need to get my ass in gear because my partner suggested months ago to look into creating greeting cards.  There's a small market for them but I think I could do well if I just got off my ass and actually did something.  Some people are selling their cards for more than 15 bucks a pop for five or six cards!  I mean.... come on!  That's not including s and h.  I could do it.  I even have a kinda cute design group name.  I need to draw that too.  Yeesh.  Bad me.  Very bad me.

In other news, my partner and I are looking into homes.  We're getting fairly tired of the people upstairs and we just want a place of our own.  We found one that looks adorable and would be large enough for the two of us.  We don't need a lot and it would honestly be a little cheaper than what we'd be paying now.  I mean, why not?  I know they say your home is where your heart is, but sometimes you need a place to plant yourself, that you feel comfortable enough in to know you can always come back to.  We're looking for that, and for some odd reason, I really really think we should look at the place that caught our attention.  We'll see though.  My partner has a want to be out before December.  Again, we'll see.

Hmmmm..... Anything else?  I don't think so at this moment.  I'm going to go back to reading some more so I can post some more reviews.  Maybe if/when I get some card designs done I'll post them later.

Omg.....

I just have to post this because I'm amazed.  I've never had so many people visit this little blog before.  It made me so excited to see it and stunned.  Who knew that I'd get this many people in such a small time.  Small things amuse me and this is one of them.

So I'm going to go back to my knitting, my amazing Cherry Almond black tea and giggle excitedly at this blog.
