Christmas Card Time!

It’s early November & that means it’s time to start thinking about gifts for the holiday season! Along with gifts comes cards! I reprinted some of my Christmas cards from last year, available at my online store. All the illustrations are based off of Christmas songs! The most popular one from last year was We Three Kings:

I just updated all the stocks, but even if they run out, I can always reprint more. Just email me at mindy at mindyindy dot com if you have any questions or special requests.

Also consider getting a custom sketch or custom comic for the holiday season too! Things tend to speed up at the year draws to a close, so it’s good to start thinking of a really special gift now :)

Business Tip

Try to do holiday marketing soon after Halloween XD . Before Halloween is just annoying, but you don’t want to wait too late (like, when YOU actually do your personal shopping) to promote special items for the season.

Holiday Swing

Yes, YOU TOO could have a lovely family portrait just like this one, as the cast of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia! There are some ads where the cast is all smiling bug-eyed like this :) You’re giving the gift of laughter! Other ideas include the cast of Seinfeld, Modern Family, The Simpsons, and more. There’s still a week to get your sketch order in if you’d like one.

Side note, I’ll no longer be participating in the Brooklyn Museum WinterFest, due to unforseen circumstances.

Wishing everyone Happy Holidays!

Holiday Commissions are Open!

It’s that time of year, there’s a chill in the air, it’s close to Thanksgiving, and you realize “Oh crap, I need to get presents for people!” What better present than personalized artwork? If you’ve gotten a sketch from me before, you know how happy it’s made you and others. (If you haven’t yet, please see my folio) The great thing about custom art is that it’s different each time! Give the gift of awesomeness to your kids when they see themselves as their favorite superhero! Give the gift of laughter to your spouse when they see your pet as THEIR favorite superhero!

No shame in giving YOURSELF a gift too! I’ll let you in on a family tradition of the Mystery Present. On Christmas, we pass around a present that’s untagged and everyone shakes it. Often it’s wrapped very garishly/strangely with many boxes nested inside each other. The first year I think it was my mom that started handing the gift off to people and it ended up being for HER! The gift of laughter! All this is to say that YOU could totally get a custom sketch for yourself and start a mystery present tradition of your own XD

Sketches are 5”x7”. Ink is $40 for one figure +$20 per additional figure. Color is $50 for one figure +$25 per additional figure. Larger sizes like 8”x10” available upon request.

If you want a whole custom comic drawn about how you met your spouse, or your first Christmas or Hanukkah together, or about how your kids are awesome, send me an email to mindy at mindyindy dot com and we can work it out! You can also get your office to pitch in for a custom comic honoring a special leader or coworker.

I take Paypal and credit cards via Square Invoices. Super easy & convenient.

I’m leaving for vacation on December 18, (about a month away from now) so get your orders in ASAP so I can add you to my project cue!

Hope everyone has Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmahanakwanzika!  May you and your family & friends have a safe and happy holiday season!  If you're Photoshop savvy, you can cut out the guy's face and insert your own picture in the illustration!  A personalized holiday greeting!

I'm so glad I don't have to worry about finals anymore, but I still have dreams about it sometimes.  Had to throw in another Christmas Story Daily Misfortune!
