Cards for Loved Ones

lettering + illustration
An ongoing series of lettered cards for holidays, thanks, birthdays, and anniversaries made for friends and family. The ritual of marking rites of passage and time through greeting cards act as a playground for letterform construction and crafting. 

They range in editions from 1-of-1 hand-cut cards to small runs of risograph or letterpressed cards.
