Vistaprint is offering 100 postcards "free". Now, they're not really free, but they're a very good deal. Currently the promotion they're running lets you get 100 cards made for $0, but there's still a $5 image upload and shipping costs. Still, you're getting full color glossy postcards for $0.10 a pop. They are also offering "free calanders" and "free business cards" but with the shipping and image uploads figured in, those products didn't seem quite as nice a deal as the postcards.

I have to figure out what image I like enough that I think I could use 100 of it... :-/ I can figure out something for 20 easy. 100... not so much. If anyone's got the time, could you let me know 1-3 of your favorite images from The NDA Gallery? Thanks a bunch! If I can't narrow down my postcard choice I may just end up making 100 of this guy, something that I could include in any packages we ship out for online orders.

I decided to just get the NDA menu dragon as a promotional postcard. I don't know whether these are going to sit out at my table on cons for people who like postcard to take, or if we'll mail them out with orders as a freebie. The thing is, I don't want to have them on the table and have people take them just because "Oh hey, something to take" and then leave the card in the circular file later that evening at the hotel. They could take a business card instead, which is much cheaper for me. Honestly, I could care less what people do with my biz cards. They're there for an easy way to pass out my website addy and a thing I can doodle on for people who want a free sketch. I also don't want to put a postcard in with an order, if the person is just going to throw them out. I'd like uh... free postcards for people who will keep or mail them? The cards do have neondragonart.com written on the front, and in small grey text on the back, but I hope its not in horribly poor taste.


In regards to the new years resolution, I've got some major coding ready to put up on the site that should re-archive all 270 pages of TimeScapes and Phantom 20/20 up in one update: the website resolution is going well. I still need to set aside an hour today for notes, comments, and e-mail. And I need to finish coloring something. It would be nice to create one colored image a week for my tutorial book, and one a week for Flight Rising. Two full color images a week really isn't much to shoot for at all, especially since I've got all this time. Mmmm. Less talking, more doing!

Zoooom!
