Cards I've made in 2023!
🕑 Added 2023-05-02 20:18:04 +0000 UTCI was waiting to share all of these cards AFTER they'd been delivered to their owners, due to several of their owners being patrons (hello, you sneaky sweeties, thank you! <3).
First, a couple of spring flowers for my friends Beth and Karen:
I remembered to take some progress photos of these!
This next one was more of a collage. This is my brother and sis-in-law's anniversary card, which is a drawing I made them for their wedding and then turned into a bunch of cards so I could alter them yearly for their anniversary! SOMETIMES I THINK AHEAD.
Last year they acquired their golden doodle, Luna, so I added Luna to the card along with her fancy pink accessories. Instead of re-drawing her, I printed out a scan of their Christmas gift and carefully cut + rubber cemented her face to the card.
Which Christmas gift was that? Oh you know, the one I forgot to share with Patreon. I made very large ornaments of everyone's dogs last year!
(RIP, Joma <3)
My little cousin got married in March and I really wanted to draw her and her new husband as a card for them:
Somehow I didn't scan this before I sent it, so all I have is this photo of Myron holding the card, proving how many of his most defining characteristics I missed... but they loved it all the same. :)
If you've seen my face before I think you can just trust how much this looks like my cousin Lisa - everyone I met at the wedding asked if we were sisters. We're a big-teeth-smile family!
Last is this card I made last-minute for our beloved Ryan on his birthday:
My dad once called my friends "a bunch of gorillas," and when I told Ryan this he was like "Oh, he was DEFINITELY just talking about me." He's right. I was about to draw him as a gorilla, but then I twisted it to make him a member of The Gorillaz. Not my best work, but it was fun to draw!
That's all! I just wanted to make a public post for y'all so that people who are only "following" this account could see something for once. ;)
Speaking of which, Patreon updated their "follow" options - it's now called "Join for free." It's the exact same thing as "following," just worded a little differently, and you'll get to vote in polls (but you'll still need to be a paying member/patron in order to comment on posts, and of course the paid-tier content will stay behind a paywall). So don't be alarmed if you notice a subtle change in the name of your "tier!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW, I made most of these cards during my weekly Art Night, a loose social gathering where my friends and I make whatever we want from 7 pm to midnight and listen to music and eat snacks and stuff. HIGHLY RECOMMEND starting your own Art Night!

That actually seems VERY soothing.

AHHHH I SEEEE

I was also hoping you'd notice your name. 😋

I want that lamp!
Minzoku Bokumetsu
Sadly, sitting with friends is a pleasure we haven't been able to experience in a very long time due to distance and conflicts ☹️
Bailey Doolittle
Yeah the lamp is gorgeous! but I also thought the book the sunflower in the chair was reading was grey hair of someone buried up to their hairline in the covers and, i guess, being comforted by the sunflower? Lol
Danielle Corsetto
I'm so glad someone noticed the lamp!
Danielle Corsetto
Oooo collaged cards are super cool!
Danielle Corsetto
I recommend sitting with friends and giving yourself HOURS to just relax and COLOR GENTLY until suddenly you have a wildly poppy finished product!
Danielle Corsetto
A little field guide for D's Beards.
Danielle Corsetto
Ahh that is AMAZING!! Thanks for making my cousin think I'm "the shit." ;)
Ruth Merriam
Now appearing the in the IKEA catalog: DANIQUE - Dimmable floor lamp with goose neck and shade in the shape of a partially opened sunflower. Bulb is full-spectrum, included.
Wild coincidence!! I was a big GWS fan and at some point I asked her if she happened to have a cousin named Danielle, and amazingly yes!
Bailey Doolittle
I like making cards as well, though lately mine have been more collage style!
Minzoku Bokumetsu
ahhh h I've done like TWO colour cards for people and they weren't half as detailed as these! I feel like I should add more OOMPH next time =D
You need a spotters guide to keep track of all the beardy guys that swarm around Danielle!
Gary Walker
No BS I feel like I am missing out on the full beardy guy options because I don’t know Ryan.
Gary Walker
Your bros are absolutely members of the big boy club. A brutherhüd open to any larger male-identifying person. Or, you know, whoever. I just made this shit up.
Danielle Corsetto
I was surprised (but not TOO surprised) to find out that they actually DO have pink, SCENTED poop bags for Luna!
These are great! I love the poop bag in your sis-law's hand. ;)
Danielle Corsetto
WHAAAT!! Did you know my work through her, or is this just a wild coincidence?!
Danielle Corsetto
The Faber Castell ones are the trick!! They're SO GOOD.
Danielle Corsetto
I had to look that up and YES
So cute, and such good gift ideas! Also, small world: I went to elementary school with Lisa (though didn't make it to their wedding, unfortunately) and your drawing represents her sweet smile perfectly :D
Cab
Are some kind of color pencil wizard?!
Becky Fish
For some reason, Luna reminds me of a gold version of Sprocket from Fraggle Rock. ;)
