Bizness cards!

I ordered my first official business cards from an actual company yesterday! I'm excited to get them and hopefully they come out looking good and the matte finish isn't too blah. I'm definately a starving artist, and i saved $10 bucks for not getting the glossy finish. hahah. can't wait to get them in the mail, and so glad i don't have to worry about making my own ugly biz cards for a while. yay!

Looking for someone to cut odd sized mats

I have several odd sized pieces that I want to mat in simple white mat boards for art show presentations.

I need someone who would be willing to cut me some mats to quote me some prices. The sizes I need are:

inside 12.5x18.5 (13x19)

Some of these are art papers so no problems. However some are… Continue
