Outgoing and Incoming

Earlier in the week Reis at Hey! Look at my toys! sent out a call for some trades. So, while I was getting an envelope ready for the two I had on hand, a few of my other minifigs decided to show them the door. I don't blame these two for jumping ship now.



Wow that whip has to sting! That's the last time I give my security team a week off. Okay, so, while those two were leaving the EHQ (Eclectorama Headquarters) here is some incoming post.

First is a printed invite I had drawn up for my Niece's baby shower. I included my Niece, her cat and her husband. I tried to personalize it a bit, she likes to shop and he works in the sound and lighting industry. Hope they like it. I had these printed at Faulkenberg Printing Company and I couldn't be happier.



Then there are these sets of awesomeness! In the package from Faulkenberg was a few packs of the first ever Eclectorama Trading Cards! I must have a fan at Faulkenberg, it's really kinda of cool seeing artwork you worked on in a format you never thought you would see artwork you worked on. Don't get me wrong I have had stuff printed both in my day job and as a freelancer, some for Star Wars Kids Magazine back in the day. But this is artwork I just did for fun.



I was sent five packs, I of course I am keeping the one I opened, but was told that all the packs had the same cards... oh and one sticker. So that means I have a few to giveaway! Should I have a contest, a drawing, or just send them at random. Hmmm decisions, decisions. Let me think on it and I will make an announcement next week. I think I will even do a few artist's sketch cards to sweeten the deal. What does everyone think?





Have a cool weekend and thanks again to everyone at Faulkenberg Printing Company, especially the Eclectorama Fan ; )

All cool stuff, but I am particularly interested in your thoughts re: the Trading cards. What's the cost per unit work out to be? That would be a fun way for me to get some art out to the masses too methinks!

Ha ha! Thanks everyone, I'm digging these cards too. I can always count on Jboy to enter a contest! You will be the first to know what I have planned. Cal, someday I will have to really update my website with my official portfolio, though I have been getting good mileage out of the blog. Bubba, I haven't a clue, I was going to ask this myself. I didn't even know these were coming, my friend at the shop decided it would be a cool surprise so he took art straight form the blog and mocked these up for me. So I guess these are prototypes or a limited run. I was going to check into making some in a series so I will keep you updated.

Hey Chris, thanks I was typing that essay above when you snuck your comment in. I will be doing a contest or giveaway, plus I think I have some other things I want to do for all my blogging buddies.

First of all, thanks for hooking me up with a couple of badly needed Lego chaps! You're a gentleman and a scholar, Chunky B!

Secondly, I think you should have a contest to win a set of your cards, and that contest should be who has the most Dukes of Hazzard toys, or luchador masks or cats named Monkey. Just a thought.

Your artwork is just awesome, brother. Love the cards you made for your neice!
