Virtual Postcard Greetings
This section features all original works from professional artists, photographers, and graphic designers you won't find anywhere else.
There are no holiday cards per se (though you may still find something apropos). No special sentiments like Happy 175th Wedding Anniversary (there is plenty of that on the Web already). But if you're looking for something different, a departure from the ordinary, something fresh, strange, stunning, beautiful, perhaps a bit disturbing, then here you will find it!
To get started simply select one of the featured artists listed in the Artist Galleries to the right.
If you are picking up an postcard, enter the ID number from your email greeting in the field below.

Featured Artists
Gil Elvgren
A tribute to one of the great pinup artists in American illustration. Between the mid 1930s through 1972 Gil Elvgren produced over 500 oil on canvas pinup and glamour girls, mostly while working for the calendar publisher Brown and Bigelow, but he also did a number of works for NAPA and Sylvania Electronics. Here are just a sampling.
The Mandrake Collection
Besides being a potent narcotic and aphrodisiac, the root of the Mandrake (Mandragora officinarum) plant is said to resemble human form that screams when pulled from the ground, making this collection of "fresh" fruits and vulgar veggies quite appropos.
Joseph W. Neumayer
Since he was 15 years old, Joseph has had the good fortune to know what that "work" is and to have it emerge into the world as images: photojournalism and poetic documentary, fine art photography, and now Wiping Light Digital Photograms. It is a fully digital technique, created on a Macintosh, and uses no camera or traditional film. Joseph's constant intention in the world is to "eliminate the obvious and illuminate the elusive."

Randall A. Walker
Randall is an award-winning artist and creator of a unique design process called Cut-Paper Collage. His particular blend of computer design and hand-crafted artistry is uncommon. "When I get an idea, I can just see it in full color and detail in my mind. I am able to take that mental picture and recreate it with paper."
Randall’s fine cut-paper originals are designed via computer and are then painstakingly constructed by hand using a layering process. This artistic method of working with cut-paper brings his bold two-dimensional designs to life, giving them a vibrant three-dimensional feel.

Andrew DiFiore Jr.
For over a decade Andrew has worked with digital media to create stunning, often darkly fanciful art. "Though I love conjuring up evocative pieces I pride myself on staying versatile, finding new venues that challenge me both technically and creatively. As a result some of my most surprising works have been experimental."
Andrew's artistic diversity is evident in this collection of epostcards, ranging from cartoons to surrealistic mix media.
Nil Anon
This collection of black and white photography has a haunting appeal that is typical of Nil Anon's work. "Simple, everyday images taken at a certain angle, in a certain light, at a certain momemt in time, can whisper volumes in one's mental ear."
It is hard to find signs of life in these photos but they're there, perhaps just outside the frame or beyond the door.
