Greeting card illustration

A few illustrations from my former life as a greeting card illustrator. Watercolor and some pencil or marker on Strathmore or Arches paper. That was before everything had to be done on the computer, in order to save time and money. Most of the type was machine set, but I did the lettering on the Spanish card. To get that humorous look that they wanted, I used my left hand.

I also want to put in a word for another artist, Jackie Garner, who has just written a book called "The Wildlife Artist's Handbook". She has done some fascinating work in Egypt, sketched in ancient tombs where no photography is allowed and helped identify wildlife for the scientists.
