You are My Sunshine!

Digital postcard art, March 2009

Haha, am having a blast with these medieval tarot cards! Here’s another image, The Sun, from the Visconti-Sforza deck. What better way to let someone know that he or she is special than with this “You are My Sunshine” medieval-inspired postcard?

This one was easy to make: I simply cropped the original image down to size, then layered on a strip of torn paper stamped with the sentiment and doodles.  Oh, and I had to give our sun-bearer a fig leaf of sorts so as not to offend anyone. Tah-dah! Another digital postcard in a jiff!

Hope your day’s all warm and sunny!

Save Our Wildlife

Digital postcard, February 2009

OK, here’s another study of the animal-cruelty-prevention postcard. Heck, couldn’t make up my mind which one was better, so I decided to post both.

Stop Animal Cruelty

Digital postcard art, February 2009

My first attempt at postcard art. This one’s inspired by the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck, and shows the “Strength” card. Well, beating lions to death with a club may have been a very acceptable - even highly laudable - deed in the old days, but not anymore. Unless you enjoy the attention that comes with being targeted by PETA.

This took less than 30 minutes to put together in Photoshop Elements, but of course the idea’s been nagging at me ever since I spied this image at Liam Quin’s site. If you need old illustrations that are public domain (and free!), do visit the site!
