Fitting New Year Card For 2022
New Year Cards
The ending of 2020 was a weird one, for a myriad of reasons. I made some digital cards and in the end my printer died while gorging on heavy paper, so I just posted them on Meta.
Christmas Cards
Somewhere in November 2014 I decided to make a whole lot of Christmas cards for friends/family. They were actually based on the person(s) they were meant for.
It was also the first time I used “PEEN” as my signature. I will elaborate on the many, many meanings of Peen in another post.
All cards were drawn on 12*12cm cheap blank cards. After a while I came to understand what worked, and what not. One day I will redo the best of them.
Birth Announcement Cards
My 2 little human beings are probably the biggest accomplishments on this website. There’s also a LOT of maintenance required. Teaches me to do a better job of planning a project, especially the TCO.
For both of them, I made the birth announcement cards myself. The first one was actually my first foray into digital art, drawn as vectors with the mouse.
Some 3 years later, the next birth announcement card was a “good” excuse to buy a professional Wacom tablet & CLIP Studio Paint. I elaborated further on the front & back concept. The inside was an actual book. I wanted a ISBN number, but that was deemed “too much” by the mother.
