I had these big plans for all the stuff I wanted to have ready for the Renegade Craft fair, but now I’ll be scaling back a bit. There’s a comic project I really want to work on, which means I won’t have nearly as much time as I thought. I’m going to focus exclusively on greeting cards and pin sets, since they are the least amount of work of all the projects I want to do. I’ve still got a more comprehensive plan, but this new focus should do alot for my sanity over the next 2 month as I’m trying to find new work and launch a new business.

I can’t imagine anyone will want this on a greeting card.

I said that I wanted to lay of the word press design for a bit, and what’s the first thing I do? Start designing the website, even though I don’t actually have any products yet. It’s still good I guess, because the site design always ends up informing the products and packaging side. I ended coming up with a nice logo style, with the different colored skull and bunny. While it’s not the most original color styling, I really like the way it works with the big skullybar, so whatever. The colorful “stuff” bar is based of the hang tags I’m going to get printed up.

The end result will probably be somewhere in between the super simple UpstartBlogger theme I’m using and the sketchy textural feel of the mockup.

Edit: Here’s the newer version. I’m still not sure about the hang tag. I think it has a a bit of a “me too” design vibe, as I’ve seen alot of stuff like that in other sites. I probably won’t have enough stuff to warrant it anyway, not for a while.

Here’s another 5×5 card, probably a small print as well. I’ll probably do a few more over the winter, so I cna have a set for Valentine’s day.

To be a 8×8 print, and 5.5×5.5 greeting cards:

I’m sick of designin’ wordpress sites, so this one is getting the super basic treatment. Maybe I’ll make a header image, and a background, but that’s pretty much it. I haven’t really decided what direction to go with the actual site, but ti will probably be mostly vector, with a bit of decay and texture. I’ll probably add in some fabric textures as well as design elements.
