Artist's Comments

I finally got around to creating a new card (which I'm actually really proud of)
the last few cards have been ultra simple on the backside(name, email). I do really like simple design but I just felt like I needed to say more. I thought this was an attractive solution.
I really don't know dick about design but for those of you who are starting out in this business make sure you leave the backside of the card in a matte finish.
this will let potential clients mark the card and write notes on how awesome you are
I was inspired by a number of business cards I found in a book called The Best Of Business Card Design 8

In used Times New Roman for the font. I felt this was appropriate for the illustration. It has this vintage feel to it but still strongly personifies class with the wright kerning.
Again, I'm not a graphic designer and don't pretend to be. So all of you illustrators out there, do what I say and not what I do, Ask a graphic designer for help when your designing your card/site/identity, because unless you're Sean Chapman, you probably suck......

I just did my news ones this week too, they always take me forever to settle on a design. The section for notes is a good call and I wish I had seen this before I ordered mine hah.

that's really smart, you did a great job!
and for what its worth i would have picked that same image of yours
(i think that's the hard bit, out of a whole varied body of work choosing just one image to represent you)

Very nice design. The note idea is great, makes me wonder why more people haven't thought of doing that before.... =D

Can I know what is the size of these cards ? Looks like they are taller than classical contact card indeed !

?? For some reason, these did not show up on my dwatch... hmm.

Good idea for a notes section!

Was the double l in tel: on purpose? If it is, I see the connection between telephone and telling someone quite witty. If not... I'll still think you're cool hahaha
