In 1992, I did this commissioned pencil drawing of a Mineral King cabin. The one who owns it sent me a photo of the card she had left from an earlier order.

I tried to turn it into something that would print as a decent card. This was not acceptable.

The customer said she still had the original, and it wasn’t even in a frame, so I was able to scan it (after touching it up a little bit, because I draw better now (as one would hope, 27 years later).

Then, I messed with it on Photoshop Elements, and voila!

Printing has changed so radically from the old days. I’m thankful that the ordering and reprinting process is accessible from my laptop these days.
