Strawberry Shortcake on the Moon

A while back, the folks at American Greetings were looking to give Strawberry Shortcake a new look in a sort of 'retro' style for a possible product spin-off. Here you can see her planting her flag on the moon, next to her kitty, Custard, who apparently doesn't need a space suit! This illustration wouldn't have happened without snazzy trend boards by Martha Plank and skillful art direction by Anthony Davila.

Father's Day Cards

We are fortunate at American Greetings to have the opportunity, when time permits, to try out our own ideas and techniques when creating greeting cards. It was a blast getting to spend my days creating these printmaking-inspired Father's Day designs, and I was a little sad when the project was over. Get to your nearest CVS pharmacy pronto to see them in person!

Thanks must be given to Valerie Drake for the classy 'wolf' card concept, and thanks also to AG's Editorial Department for the excellent copy.
