Art Cards

I chopped up my first round of ink sketches and made art cards out of them for the First Friday show in the Ruby Room. It was a hasty cut and paste job but I managed to trade the happy bunny card for a tomato sandwich and some soup so I’m glad I got it done for the show.

We had over 200 cards on display and I have a lot of favorites but the best by far were submitted by a kindergarten art class. I don’t know what they feed these kids but I think it’s the same thing Salvidor Dali ate before he did The Persistence of Memory.

I also have to tip my hat to Lou and Carol Suring for the most creative materials in the show. Lou used acid burnt glass and Carol made beautiful little quilted cards.

Layout honors go to Mitch and Glenn from Copy Express. Mitch had a bunch of pen and ink people singing Roger Miller’s “You Can’t Skate in a Buffalo Herd” and Glenn made a mini comic about a miniturized Captain Perfect with some very nice overflowing panels at the end.
