This post continues the profiling of the production of my handmade art postcards. These works were created from a combination of drawing and printmaking in small editions of 10 to 50. It must be stated that each of the cards is an original print, or monoprint…similar in design but with no exact duplicate. For example the three prints from the Landscape No. 2 edition below, whilst carrying the same title, number and technique, all bear some visual differences. My first postcard post was from the Abstract series…the postcards in this post are from the subsequent Landscape series. Some have abstract elements. With few exceptions these cards fall within the postcard size dimensions of 10cm x 15cm.



In the postcard art above I employed a restricted palette in comparison to the Landscape No.3 and No.4 cards which followed (see below in this post). These have a combination of textures that range from watery and weedy to grassy and sandy surfaces.




UPDATE MARCH 6, 2017: Below are are photos of my completed art postcards…bundled up for carting to the gallery and then spread out on a display table for sale.
I can’t repeat often enough how much I enjoy the process of design and production of my art postcards!
