  • Sharing my 2012 holiday 'car' cards...

    #1
    I guess it's time to share these here since I'm starting to mail them out this week. I'm going to say I don't think it's got the best 'holiday' feel to it, but I was a little tapped for time this year and this idea popped into my head so I ran with it.




    And here are just a few of mine from recent years...








    And here's one I found the other day from waaaay-back!

    This is for the mini-truckers at heart...did this back in 1991. I not only did the illustration, but wrote the poem as well...





    Back in the early 90's, I would design these, print about 30 on white cardstock at Kinko's and hand color each one differently with pantone markers. Back then I had very few customers and a lot more time.

    Nowadays...I design one, run them digitally and mail in larger amounts.

    I've got a number of people who tell me they have saved every one I've ever done and one person told me she actually displays them each year which is pretty cool.

    Again, pretty cool to see.
    I remember seeing a few older ones you've shown on the GDF.

        I really like seeing a collection of the different cards over the years. It's surprisingly cohesive. I bet your clients love getting a card each year. Do you get much work from those cards Tony?

                Nah...not really. I've had a couple people over the years ask me about doing one for them. One of them panned out and the guy loved it. The other guy opted to just buy some from me and use them as opposed to spending money for me to illustrate something unique to him.

                In fact, I sell these on my website, but with the lack of traffic/followers, I've only sold a couple.

                I've been over-ordering the past 4 or 5 years so I have a 'stock' of some for selling. I may need to set up a booth at a car show or something some day and try to sell them.

                I do get quite a lot of positive feedback from customers who look forward to them each year.

                    Those are great! I think the green is my favorite too.
