Saved up my money from making tshirts and decals with my friend Kathy for her company and bought me a new fancy color inkjet printer.  It’s awesome.  An Epson Artisan 1430…  it will print studio quality prints up to 13 x 19 in size!  And unbelievable images from original art.

I really want to start showcasing some of my illustration and digital art on cards, prints, and other applications.  I think they are worthy of it, perhaps others might like them.  I’ll have an Etsy shop where I can display them all.  And I’d like to get into making custom stickers…  like folks love for their planners and calendars…  with some interesting original themes, I hope.  We shall see.

Another income stream is always welcome in our little homestead empire.  Anything that helps to keep the lights on and bills paid, it’s a good thing.

I’ll let you know more, when I get done learning all about it and designing up some lovely things to share!    I do know it will be under an old company name that I loved…  Kalligraphika.  I used to have a rubber stamp company with lots of beautiful stamps and well, it just ended when the whole rubber stamp craze kind of bottomed out.  All the art images I sold to a lady for her company…  but the name, well, I can use it again.  It is a variation of the Greek words…  Kallos…  meaning beautiful and Graphika, meaning written image, that sort of thing.  So Kalligraphika to me means beautiful images.    I hope you will agree with that when you can see all I will offer.
