Postcards: CJ's Robster Attack

Using prints in my collage is a good way to break out of a funk because it lets me play around with images I already like.  So for my reply to CJ's elaborate Christmas card, I returned to the style of postcard I was sending over to Scotland: the animal card.  While I'm not responsible for the evocation of the initial imagery, these are still a fair amount of work; I am not skilled with a knife, and there were many, many tiny cuts.

Postcards: Copper Dance

My son is a fan of the works of Kazu Kibuishi.  He loves Amulet and recently discovered Copper.  I thought it'd be fun to copy a simple panel from Copper and send it to my son as a surprise.  The robot reminded me a little of Scud, and so I gently enhanced that aspect of his design.

Keeping Busy

Scanning photos, laptop shopping, furniture shopping... the number of things I am doing that are not making postcards is astounding.  I am guessing next week will be more random art than postcards.

Gimme One More Week Off

I am still a little behind on postcards, and photography season is coming up.  Hopefully this week I will produce enough to keep the blog running.  Until then, stay funky!

A Late Holiday Break

I have to catch up on my artistic production.  I made very little over the holidays, and the blog is paying for it now.  In the meantime, here is an olde tyme photo.

Postcards: Inspired by sculpture and Magic

Inspired by the sculptures of Philip Jackson and just a lot of fantasy art, I set out to make a Magic card-esque postcard for Erin.
