A day late to posting, but I was a day early to giving, haha! I hope everyone had a fine Father’s Day. Here’s the card I made for my awesome dad:

Pattern & text (Adobe Garamond) done in Illustrator. Texture is from a wash I did using moist tissue paper and allowing it to get all wacky. I printed the whole shebang on cream card stock, wrote on the back, and stuck it in a yellow envelope. I like that it turned out to be a little bit disorienting, similar to that classic optical illusion. Scintillating!

A feverish, sick boy ruminates ruefully on the dirty, germy bus that foisted this terrible illness upon him. Inspired by this ask.metafilter question.

Pencil on paper. Photoshop: color, textured paper. Background wave is from a linocut print I did last year.
