3D Bug Card

This is a card I created a while ago. I never had a chance to see the printed version. Which would explain why I haven't posted it until now. This was to be a 3D card that included its own glasses that you could punch out and wear. The 3D glasses were placed on the top third of the card (which would explain the space above the characters.) I had a lot of fun creating the characters, especially the ones in movement. Anything that artistically challenges me is a bonus. It is the only way we get better as artist and learn new ways to approach things.

This is one of my favorite greeting card promos. It all developed from the racoon card bellow. I was asked to create this as a single card but, because American Greetings liked it so well they pitched it to Target as an endcap theme. Abviously, they went with it. When I began the project it was clear that I would not be able to finish all of the designs myself. I was asked to select another illustrator that I thought could work with me to mimic the look and style. I suggested Jason Miskimins. He is a very good friend of mine who also works full time at American Greetings. He is a fantastic illustrator who can mimic just about anything. Above, you will see the original design with the racoon along with the rest of the designs I created. Go check them out the next time you are in Target!

Animal Cards With Fabric Ear Headbands

This promo is currently out at Target and Walmart. I created these illustrations for American Greetings Invention Lab. Each card has fabric wrapped headband with the ears of the character on them. The ear headband is placed right over the characters ears, which means the cards are bigger in size. I love this idea and my 3 children have a blast with each of the designs.
