So while i was at the MOCCA fest I had a couple of people interested in my process. I do everything by hand; yes even the fonts. And the reason i do this is because i enjoy it mostly and I can more freely choose the visuals just the way i want them. I then scan the images and clean them up with photoshop and mostly Adobe's Illustrator.
However, recently i have acquired a Wacom Cintiq and draw directly on the screen. It is a huge time saver and just an amazing tool. You should try it out
Here are a couple of sketches i did during the development of previous cards as well as one rejected piece the I finished before i decided i did not like it! The patterns on Othello was nice; might use it for something else. I might use it on an arabian night postcard!
