Requirements: As always our normal standards apply of original mailing THREE cards (four if sending a host gift card) They must be 2.5 x 3.5 inch original hand drawn/colored/painted cards in your best efforts. I swap cards around based on composition, detail, and final execution. Empty backgrounds or people/objects with solid color for background, or head only cards are discouraged, please try for more. This community is made fabulous by everyone trying their best and being supportive and encouraging of each other’s growth.

January’s THEME:

Open Theme

That is right – whatever you make this month or whatever card you made last year and you have laying around finished send it in! This is a no pressure month! So this would be a perfect chance for you to mail in those cards you perhaps created last year but didn’t have time to finish?! Just please be sure that it is still an HONEST EFFORT card. (Card should still be an illustration, not just scribbles and a mostly empty card. Black and white, ink, greyscale, monochromatic, even fan art/master studies cards are ok too.)

If ever in doubt about the theme just shoot me an email to ask a question. Send signups and any questions to [email protected]
