#Goimagine

Holiday greeting cards are sometimes a thing one has to think about way too early in the season. So it feels weird to promote my selection right now.

But cards can take time to get out. And with the mail being what it is in the US, timing can be important.

I have these three sets of greeting cards available with Christmas themes, and more on the way.

2% of every sale made on the Goimagine platform goes to children’s charities, FYI.

I’ve gotten as far as setting up my new shop on goimagine but no items there yet. I started, but then realized that my photos have my Etsy shop name watermarked on them.🧐 So, I’m changing that to only my name as a watermark. May take a few days. But making progress!!! 🥰 #goimagine #etsyalternative

Today I’m sharing another bird newly available as a greeting card on my shop: a Heron.

These birds are found almost worldwide, and known by many names.

Today I share a Dandelion greeting card.

These little blooms are considered weeds most of the time. They grow where we don’t want them, usually.

But they’re also entirely edible, persistent, beautiful, and can be found almost all over the world. They have deep roots. And they rarely give up.

I think we have a lot to learn from these little flowers.

#mastoArt #FediGiftShop #Goimagine #IndieArtist #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #GreetingCards

Product photograph of an illustrated dandelion greeting card, posed on a white envelope on a kraft paper background. Predominant colors are golden yellow and green.

This piece is called The Farmer and the Fox. It’s based on the fable by Aesop.

The story goes like this: A farmer decides to tie an oil-soaked rope around the tail of a fox as revenge for it breaking into his chicken coop. He lights it on fire, and the fox runs into his fields, lighting them on fire.

The farmer gets no harvest that year.

This story could have many morals, but the one I’m interested in is the idea of pointless revenge and ruthlessness. When one becomes self-righteous in their vindictiveness, things can often turn around to devastating effect. So don’t be a dick.

And I think that’s a lesson a LOT of us—especially in the US on the right—have forgotten. It has been said that “the cruelty is the point”, and I believe that’s true. I just hope karma strikes back soon.

This is available as a greeting card here: https://goimagine.com/the-farmer-and-the-fox-single-illustrated-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/

I don’t use any sort of generative image assistance to help me make these. They’re all done slowly in Procreate, and printed, packaged, and posted from my own home. I don’t do print-on-demand drop shipping.

Today I’m sharing a set of teacup greeting cards, featuring cups from my grandmother-in-law’s personal collection. These are family heirlooms.

Today I share some birthday cards, some of the rare cards I’ve made with any sort of sentiment or theme on them.

But I put hats on these, and I think they’re fun!

https://goimagine.com/cheeky-chirps-illustrated-bird-birthday-greeting-cards-boxed-set-5x7-with-envelopes/

These are all #HumanMade. I paint them all in Procreate, then print them at home, package them all up, and mail them out myself—no POD fulfillment company for me.

I made a LOT of birds, and I’ve sometimes circled back and used them in different kinds of ways. I promised myself I’d make more birds in hats, and they’re still on my list! In the meantime, if you know anyone who might like a clever bird birthday card, consider these please!

A long time ago, I was doing landscapes. I focused on waterfalls, and fell in love with the green and the water.

I used what I learned making these to do more projects, including a landscape calendar (of sorts) in 2023.

Every time I look at these, I remember the calm I experienced making them. And perhaps that’s part of why I’m so happy amongst the trees here behind the #RedwoodCurtain.

Going back to my roots, and sharing the very first pack of greeting cards I ever made:

https://goimagine.com/song-birds-greeting-cards-assorted-all-occasion-note-cards-5x7-with-envelopes/

These were the first birds I felt deserved their own boxed set. I’m happy to say they’ve found their way into many happy homes in the last couple years. I still look back at these pieces with a kind of shock they came out of my hands.

I used Procreate to make these, and while these were made far before the advent of artificially generated slop, I’m proud to say I still do everything by hand with no “generative assistance” BS. These are all #HumanMade

I print, package, and post all of these myself from my own studio. No drop-shipping or POD companies. All me.

#shopsmall #goimagine #handmade #IndieArtist #Art #GreetingCards #Birds #Birdart #Art #FediGiftShop #Artist

Product photograph of six greeting cards featuring birds of various species and colors against a kraft paper background.

This piece is inspired by the fable, The Tortoise and the Hare, by Aesop.

I did it entirely in Procreate without the help of any generative AI “assistance”. It’s kind of my take on a mashup of Art Nouveau, Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh, digital art, and storytelling.

I’m really happy with how this piece turned out. I especially love the rich browns and oranges of the canvas textures, as well as the teals and greens. I think this color palette is one that I’m comfortable with, and I seem to fall into using it quite a bit.

It’s available as a greeting card here:

Today is, apparently, World Goth Day. And I thought I might remind folks of this Gothic Tea Digital Print-it-Yourself art stationery pack I made a while ago:

https://goimagine.com/gothic-tea-printable-stationery-mega-pack/

I think it’s perfectly appropriate for some quiet time away from all the tech.

The Frog Prince.

This is one of my very favorite pieces. I love it so much that I started to sell it as my very very first print ever. It was because of this image that I took the plunge and started offering limited edition, numbered and signed prints of some of my pieces.

I think this one looks great in a large scale and nicely framed, and because I print it at home on my high-end printer, and don’t offer a myriad of different sizes and ratios, I know exactly what it looks like. I can control it. And this piece looks AWEsome in a Tabloid size/11x17” scale. So much glorious detail!

I’ve been told that it’s very “old school” to offer prints in only one size. Well, so be it. I print them on my own printer, and sign & number them so, yeah, I guess that’s the old-fashioned way of doing things. I’ll only ever print 30 of these, so I’m okay with that.

https://goimagine.com/the-frog-prince-11x17-limited-edition-print/

But it’s also available as a greeting card here: https://goimagine.com/the-frog-prince-11x17-limited-edition-print/

And as part of a Fairy Tale variety pack here: https://goimagine.com/art-nouveau-fairytale-variety-pack-greeting-cards-2-5x7-with-envelopes/

I made this using Procreate. I don’t use generative image “assistance” at all. Here’s the speedpaint: https://makertube.net/w/tJQWn6b8gtHF8D3hphAK7W

#art #FediArt #artistsonpixelfed #FairyTale #Frog #Prince #story #Print #Goimagine #GreetingCard #IndieArtist #FEdiGiftShop #ShopSmall

Illustrated rendition of The Frog Prince, done in a stylized Art Nouveau manner with raised filigree decorative framing. Image depicts a girl with pink hair and a frog on a lily pad, with cascading willows above. Primarily muted greens and dusty golden yellows on a paper texture.

This piece is based on the fairy tale, Rapunzel. It is done in an Art Nouveau-inspired style.

It can be found as a greeting card here: https://goimagine.com/rapunzel-single-illustrated-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/

This piece is Human-Made, done stroke by stroke in Procreate. It took me 7hr 42min and 5925 strokes of my Apple Pencil stylus to complete the piece.

You can watch the livestream recordings of when I made it here:

Today, I’m sharing a new card on my shop: a Bluethroat. These birds are found in Europe all the way across the Palearctic to Alaska.

I had an older version included in literally *the* first pack of bird greeting cards I’d ever made, but this new update is now available as an individual card.

https://goimagine.com/bluethroat-single-bird-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/

BUT—here’s a new feature—I finally set up my art shop to enable folks to select six cards and get one of those cards free. So essentially, you can design your own packs of single cards (from the 130 in my shop) and pay less.

Now I know—“Six greeting cards for $30?! That’s cray cray! I can get them so much cheaper somewhere else!” Yep. You can.

But these are painted, printed, packed, and posted by me (the artist) personally. These are Human-Made cards with Human-Made art, done by an independent artist keenly interested in helping people make connections with each other.

For me, this is more than sales or profit margins or giant corporations riding trends and hokey celebrity meme cards. I could do the lowest common denominator and make more money with stolen generated image schlock.

This is not that.

And these cards are not for folks who can’t tell or don’t care about the difference.

Where the art comes from that you share with others matters.

Photograph of an illustrated greeting card featuring a bluethroat bird, arranged with gold berries and a fountain pen.

This piece was inspired by the fairy tale, The Ugly Duckling.

It was done entirely in Procreate, with no artificial generative assistance.

It is available as a greeting card here: https://goimagine.com/the-ugly-duckling-single-illustrated-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/

(FYI, when you purchase six greeting cards on my shop, you’ll get the price of one removed at checkout!)

This piece took 3242 strokes with my Apple Pencil to make, over the course of 4h 42min. Here’s the speedpaint: https://makertube.net/w/qX4ZSB94GCxEY2f4LBHVeE

While I’ve been inspired by the work of Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh and her particular take on the Art Nouveau style, I’m proud to say that with each piece I’ve started to step further away from trying to emulate her work and leaning more into my own preferences and skillset. Every new piece I’ve made has been more and more my own expression. And this piece, The Ugly Duckling, was no exception. I’m quite proud of it!

#art #illustration #fairytale #story #uglyduckling #IndieArtist #goimagine #FediGiftShop #Artistlife #ShopSmall #ShopForArt #ArtForSale #greetingcards

Stylized illustration inspired by The Ugly Duckling, featuring a little cygnet in the lower left corner and silhouettes of adult swans in the upper right, surrounded by three-dimensional filigree in an Art Nouveau style.

I am so STOKED!!!

I finally --Finally!-- learned how to make a promotion in my art storefront that takes the subtotal of six individual greeting card selections and makes a blanket discount of the price of an individual card from that subtotal.

Essentially, Select Six & Get One of them Free.

And it does it automatically—no code, no coupon, nothing to remember.

I am SO happy! I’ve been trying to figure this out for a very long time, and my brain couldn’t wrap itself around it. I’m really really happy I can finally make this happen!!
