Yes, Christmas is coming, always faster than we want. I love it when I get a photo card in the mail. Here is a card that I designed for this very, new site called Pippa. This is a site that I am keeping my eye on. Good design for a very reasonable price. And this card is now 50% off. You can visit here.

Another item hot off the press is Nancy Vala’s calendar for 2019. Interesting and tasteful naked people. You can check it out here. She has some nice Christmas cards too.

21 days until the BIG day…

Christmas voting on Minted...

It is Christmas time for any artist who designs Christmas items. Here my two entries in a Minted Christmas challenge. I am very pleased with both and I am creating a new script lettering style for my Minted work which I am happy with. Some of you have been asking how to vote. If you would like to vote here is the link.

And here is my second entry. And this is the link. Any votes are greatly appreciated. 5 is the best, in case you are wondering.

This week is a Spoonflower week for me. I have several new fabrics that I am putting up in their Animals by Land contest. Hope your week will be filled with fun and creativity too.

Plz vote for Rae.

I hate to ever ask anyone to vote for me in anything.

But things have changed in the last few years with how we buy things... Netfix, Amazon, iTunes for movies, music, books and pretty much everything else. Buying fonts has also changed. Now there are discount places where you can buy a $1500 bundle of fonts for $39. I can't compete with that.

So I am trying to break into Minted. Minted is a website that has Challenges, which are really Contests, which is really Spec Work. Artists create art based on the current challenge and people vote.

If you do not win you get nothing. I you do win it can be profitable and then you get your own store.

Here are my entries for the latest Christmas Challenge.

So, if any of you have the time and energy to vote that would be great. If not I completely understand. We are all too busy.

2. Go back to this post and click on the individual links to vote.
