I made a thank you card / happy new year card out of the circles and lines design I drew a couple weeks ago:
I did the original circles and lines drawing with ink on paper. I added the texture and color in Photoshop. The type is from the awesome family, Novecento, a few weights of which are free on myfonts.

Thanks, dudes.
I made some thank you cards, which I based on a “thank you” type treatment I drew out. My original plan was to scan in my lettering, then Photoshop it into a nice little layout. However, I was disliking how I was losing the hand-made, organic, tactile quality of the pencil on paper once everything became digital. So I hand-drew 8 different versions of the above type and pasted them on a variety of patterned papers. It came out very well. I drew on lightly textured, cream paper and I liked how when I pasted it on top of the patterned paper, there was a nice show-through of the pattern.
Thanks, Guys.
I made a thank you card for the people who gave me stuff for Christmas.
I like hexagon patterns. The big white hexagon on the back is for writing my thank yous with a brown gel pen.
I did everything in Illustrator. The typeface is the awesome Museo. Three weights of the family are free at myfonts.
Card for Thanking
Here is a thank you card I made on Sunday for people who were kind enough to remember me on my birthday. Thanks, guys!
The typeface is Futura, set in different weights. Everything was done in Illustrator and printed on white, heavy paper and then rubber-cemented to white cardstock, which I folded in half to make a folded card.
Happy 2009

Happy new year, everyone! I hope 2009 brings you everything you’re hoping for, including: free jars of icing, lots of radio listening, millions of mars daydreams, kindness from strangers, smiles from doggies, and finding hidden candy corn.
Here’s the thank you card I made for everyone who was especially kind to me over the holidays:
Exciting close up!!!!:
Based on the little faces doodles I did a little while ago, which I drew over and colored in Illustrator. Then mounted on blue card stock.
Thanks for the franks
Here’s a one-sided thank you card I made. I wrote in the 2nd frame with a nice brown pen. It was awesome.
You can use it for your own thank you cards if you want! Don’t sell it on the thank-you-card black market. Everyone deserves to be thanked for something. Click to make larger, yeah.
