Xmas Greeting Cards 2010

So, they are finally here... Arrived on Saturday but had way too much to do and only just got round to taking photographs of the final product which is printed on FSC certified stock, satin coated outside for better colour reproduction (and because I can't stand gloss (Most of the times!)) leaving the insides uncoated so that you can scribble your lovely wishes!

P.S: Excuse the look of the photos,  I am yet to invest in a 'photography studio' ;-p

Fontmas Greetings!

Today's inspiration came from a gift given to me by a friend and colleague who loves all things typographic. 

It reads:

The lettermaker of the twentieth century 

has not got to be an inventor of letter

forms but simply a man of intelligence

and good will.

Whether in stone, wood, paint or metal

The common problem, yours mine, everyone's,

is–not to fancy what were fair in life

Provided it could be–but, finding first

What may be, then find out how to make it fair

and the word fair can be taken in both its

senses–it means both beautiful and just.

p.s: the yellow looked so much nicer before :( 

Also, the entire set and others that I am still working on would be 

lovelier if I could screen-print or letter-press maybe? (w/o ink) Hmm...

p.s.s: don't forget to put in your xmas card orders!

Here's something I am working on at the moment; every year, I have a few special clients and friends for whom I like to make Christmas Greeting cards (albeit e-cards). However, last year was a lot more special. But this year, I've run out of time and excuses so I started toying with the idea of another year of handmade cards... so far, I'm enjoying the sketching but I am not sure it says xmas yet... A twist like last years' cards might be the way to fuel both my sense of humor as well as creativity.  Hmmm, who knows... for now, I'll just enjoy my 'busted-birds' ;-p

'elloo?

P.S: Sorry about the line length on this blog. I am still a newbie! 

Oh, and another thing, I know the above looks nothing like Christmas. I never promised it would ;-p
