This was for an article for Seattle Met magazine. The art director, Ben Purvis, (who I used to work with at the Greenspun Media Group) does amazing work. See his site here and blog here.

I just noticed you can order my Target gift card online here. It shows it as the whole card and not die-cut.

My someecard



I have been saying this for years, when someone asks what to get me for my birthday and Christmas. Someecards.com has a "create your own" option. So I made one. Click the card to send this or create your own.

Target Gift Card: Snowboarding Bear Die-cut
My Target Gift Card is finally in the stores. About 2 years ago, I did a fake Target Gift card for Spring. And I sent it to Target. It must have got their attention because they asked me to do some winter holiday ideas. Below are the preliminary sketches, the full version with background (before they decided to make it a die-cut), a shot of it in the stores and an alternate color version.
