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.

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

Painted, printed, and packaged by me in my studio. No artificially generated ridiculousness and no manufactured POD drop-shipping.

I got approved to be in my local Friday Night Market experience here in Eureka, CA! Woohoo!
https://www.fridaynight.market/
I really hope selling things in person works, because trying to develop a presence through social media simply doesn’t work anything like it used to.
I sold less than $1000 last year trying to grow. I love the Fediverse, but honestly it’s a particularly brutal platform for artists trying to get the word out and sell their stuff. I’ve seen more than 2/3 of the artists I had been following simply abandon it since I joined in the fall of ’23. Hundreds and hundreds of artists...
I have a few other shows I want to participate in, but they’re pricey (both are over $225 for their two-day events). I know it takes money to make money, but wow. We figured out I’d need to sell 60 cards at one and 90 cards at the other just to break even after expenses. I’ve only sold just under 125 cards all year…
So it’s gonna be challenging. And I’m one of the lucky ones, to be truthful. So I’ll keep adding stuff to my Goimagine shop (I just added 14 cards over the last 3 days) and I’m working on getting some additional items up. But we’ll see! Yoinks! it’s gonna be interesting… hehe…
But celebrate the victories, right? And I got in!!! Woohooo! One step at a time!

I have an Art Nouveau version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears for sale as a greeting card on my Goimagine shop.
It’s also part of a set of similar cards here:

This image is one that really helped me start to shift away from “replicating” my inspirations toward feeling confident in my own skills. I took a leap to include illustrative elements that weren’t part of the work of my idols. It was an important step for me.
It was done entirely in Procreate, without any generative nonsense.

My stylized Art Nouveau painting inspired by“Jack and the Beanstalk” is finally available as a greeting card in my shop on Goimagine!
https://goimagine.com/jack-and-the-beanstalk-single-illustrated-greeting-card-5x7-with-envelope/
I print them in my own studio on my own 8-color printer, then crease, package, and ship them to you directly. There’s no intermediary drop-shipping manufacturer involved. I do it all myself, and create each card as its ordered.
This piece is a richly textured abstracted illustration that I’m really proud of. I did it in Procreate without the assistance of any image generation ridiculousness. The piece took 9 hours to complete with 4714 strokes of my Apple Pencil. The front cover wraps around the spine to the back, and the interior is blank.

@rhold @DemocracyMattersALot switching from A to Etsy (some years ago, they jacked the percentage they charge sellers & in the early days of the #Ukraine war, froze the accounts of Ukrainian sellers) isn’t really an improvement, particularly if you’re talking to/about independent creators, makers, or craftspeople. Be careful which platforms you’re recommending even obliquely. Trading the devil you know for one that you don’t is not a wise choice because neither is our friend. People need to take the time not just to vet platforms but also to explain the reasoning behind their choices. (Better alternatives might be #ArtisansCooperative, #BigCartel, #IndieMade or #GoImagine )
