Just ordered some new product in...

So, I finally ordered some more product. I've had a promo code for a discount on my fridge since some time last year and as it was going to expire this month, I decided to go ahead and use it.

I ordered some business cards as well as various button packages. I hope to order some bookmarks as soon as I find a reasonable place to have them printed. So far all I can find are places that want to print them, but at a minimum of 100 each, and I really dont need that many just yet, kay thanks!

As for what I did order...

I ordered three sets of five buttons featuring my Alice in Wonderland characters, the White Rabbit, The Mad Hatter, and my Cheshire.

I hope to display my stuff this March at this art festival that's going to be taking place on the 6th. While selling Miche bags, I'll also have postcards, stationary, buttons and magnets for sale, as well as having my new business cards out and on display.

Miche Bag Designs

So these are the designs I plan on submitting to Miche to see if they'll accept them into their line.

To those who are not aware, Miche makes purses that you can switch the cover to, so as to match your ourfit or the occasion without having to completely change over all the stuff you've been carrying inside the purse (which if you're a woman i'm sure you can appreciate the amount of random material that somehow manages to accumulate inside those dark voids.)

As luck would have it, Miche allows people to enter their own custom designs to be printed on the "shells", be it photos, drawings, etc etc. In some cases, depending on how the product is entered, you can submit your own artwork to be considered for their line of products. If they accept your art, you then get commission from each piece that sells through the Miche website, as well as your work out there! Sounds good to me, so I figured I'd give it a shot.

Go Ask Alice.

So I drew these specifically for sticker/magnet/keychain design and inserted the words in over it. I can't decide if I like them or not but I don't think they're bad. The could be cute for stickers or keychains, me do think so. Also, this introduces my Mad Hatter and Cheshire onto the Alice scene. I've had these guys designed for quite some time now but just didn't put them into the same Alice series as the Ladies set for some reason.

I actually even have a totally different version of Cheshire drawn to fall into a set of postcards meant to compliment the Ladies series. My Cheshire is similiar in features, but the attitude and aura he gives off are two TOOOTTAALLLY different things. The Cheshire above is more so one of those people who stands back and observes, but can be pretty mischevious in his own right. The Cheshire for my postcard series is much more uh...flamboyant, as you can see below:

Whoa-ho right? Def. not giving off the same vibes as my other Cheshire. This ones all, " I wear tight pants. Don't act like you don't like it." *shakes his lil tush on the cat walk* I'm thinking of having roses and that lil bell repeat in the background behind him, but the roses will be kind of tainted and wilted, with an over all purple and blueish black tone.

See, I have this WHOLE story in my mind that relates to my Alice world...I guess I kind of imagined this Cheshire as the Cheshire tainted by the Red Queen. My Mad Hatter is missing an eye...I explained (and I use that word loosely) some of this in a previous post.
