Holiday card designs

The museum shop at Art Institute of Chicago is having a call for entries for holiday card designs. This past few weeks, I've been working on some illustrations, and I finally finished all three of them today! I'm really excited about these. They're some of my favorite work I've done to date, or maybe I'm just too obsessively in love with them at the moment. Who knows?

I got them printed on the Service Bureau inkjet printers tonight, and they look AMAZING. (Michael's awesome!) They look so much better printed than they do on screen. Inkjet is officially my new favorite thing. Can't wait until I have the money to buy own little printer! Anyway, I'm mailing the prints out to the museum tomorrow morning, along with a CD with all the digital files in case they need them.

I really hope they get chosen! Each chosen design receives a flat fee of $1000! That's more than I could ever make screenprinting them... (And much less work, might I add.) I guess even if they don't choose any of my designs, I'd be fine with just inkjet printing them and selling them as greeting cards in the Holiday Art Sale. Still, please wish me the best of luck!

This is what you've really been waiting for: PICTURES!
