New Business Cards
New House -> New Cards
Today I designed and ordered new business cards. I’m now a Denver person not a Parker person. My old cards had my real street address on them. Decided to just go with phone and online contact information for this version.
I normally do all my online printing of postcards and such with vistaprint but they didn’t have an option to upload an image for the back of a business card, at least that I could find, so I switched to overnightprints.com for this order. Got a tip on twitter that they were good.

Back side
I did my last business card with a vertical orientation. I won’t be doing that again. Nonstandard isn’t a good idea for something that is rather standard. It didn’t fit into any of the holders when sitting out at shows.
The past 3 or 4 years I’ve used an image of Structures #35 for all of my branding - website, blog, business cards, thank you notes and even all of my avatars online are this textile painting. I guess I’m getting a bit tired of it so I went with something else for the business card. I think Structures #60 is currently one of my favorite pieces.
Depth and Breadth: Quiltmaking in the 21st Century
The Butler Museum of Art has requested business cards for the show Depth and Breadth: Quiltmaking in the 21st Century, which runs October 12, 2008 through January 4, 2009 with an opening reception on the October 13th.
I’ll be at the opening and will be giving a short artist talk. I believe some of the other artists in the show (Bob Adams, Jan Myers-Newbury, June O’Neil, and Jen Swearington) will be speaking also.
Monday I’ll pack up the 6 pieces for the show and get them to UPS. There will be work from both the Markings and the Structures series at the show.
For those that like to prepare early here are the museum details:
Butler Institute of American Art
Trumbull Gallery
9350 East Market Street
Howland, OH 44485

About a month ago, I realized that my old blogspot address is still on my business cards and I’ve continued passing these out since last March when I moved my blog and website. Doh - so, I need to design some new business cards too. Thanks for the reminder!
Your new cards look great! I think it’s good to change out the art work every so often to keep it fresh. I also use Overnight Prints - the quality is fantastic, the site is easy to use, and shipping is fast.
I wish I could attend your talk in OH. Maybe next time you do one in CO. I think it’s important to see artwork and to hear artists talk about their work outside of one’s chosen medium.

It was fun to design new cards - glad to remind you all that you need some!
Cynthia - I agree - it’s really great to listen to and learn from artists in other mediums.

What prompted you to print the quilt on the back?
