Father's Day Offerings


Well, we finally got the cards for Father's Day printed up. It feels good to offer up two versions. We are a little behind the curve, admittedly, but there's always next year, right? And who says you can only send a card to your dad on Father's Day, anyway? We send cards to our dads all the time, but we print cards, too, so maybe that's a bad example.

This was Alia's drawing. What could be more manly than a stag, hops, and plaid? I think she did a great job of integrating her proud stag into a Nouveau-style border with the tattoo inspired banner and text.

The image for this card came from one of the daily drawings I was doing last year. Recently, my granddad passed down all of his family photos to me -- and he has been researching our family for decades, so he had quite a collection to pass down. This is my great-great-great uncle (?) Edmond Eli "E.E." Waites. I thought the intimate portrait would make a fine looking card. We hope you do, too.

Up next, the congratulations card, and we hope to post some images of all the business cards we have been asked to print!
