New Collection of Hand-Painted Cards

May 11, 2015

One of my favorite mini-collections within the new release of products is a group of cards featuring original paintings I did using gouache. Prior to this collection, all of my designs were done with ink. 

As I started thinking about some new designs, I felt that many of my new ideas could best be translated via a new medium - gouache paint. I really enjoyed using gouache and experimenting with colors and texture. 

Moving forward, I'm looking forward to using both mediums as I create new products. Here's some behind the scenes looks at the painting process!
