Happy, Merry! I'm so impressed by the napkin/card! I want to know more...

Oh, ha! Happy, Merry to you too! In the 90s and early aughts, I worked as a freelance illustrator. The greeting cards were the first real gig, I got, and those paid a fee plus royalties. But I also went on to do work for newspapers and magazines, some fabric design for kids clothing, and a smattering of paper products. I was hoping to branch out into decorative housewares, at one point, but that didn't pan out. (hahaha)

I did the cover art for my novel Provenance. https://bookshop.org/p/books/provenance-sue-mell/18368099?ean=9781956440027

But that was closer to more abstract personal work I did years later. I'll email you thing or two :)

I know! They're so cool. If I had even an inkling of where they were—and could reach them!—in my storage unit, I would send you some.

The random guy in the theater just slays me. Merry, merry; or at least, some joy.

So funny, right? And years later, we'd end up working together for a mutual friend who did the catering for the Jewish Film festival. Happy/Merry to you and yours!
