In the Headlines:

• Greyhounds Reach the Beach, in DE, was a hoot, as usual.  I made some new friends, and business connections, and saw a lot of familiar faces and muzzles.  It was the "IRL" debut for the Stroke of Green cards, and they were very popular!  :D  I got lots of great feedback, and ideas for new cards, including non-seasonal greetings.  Keep an eye on Stroke of Green!  ;)

• New Santa card design has been added to the Stroke of Green line!  There were a lot of requests for Santa, which I've done in each of the previous years, so ... Your wish might just be my command!  Based on an idea sent to me by a fan, Santa now laughs at the excited pleasure of a "cow-dog" (spotted) greyhound as he gives the pup's hips a good scratch.  It's a design full of old-fashioned warmth, and simple jolly Santa fun.  

• I've started a new line of Greeting Cards.  
  I'm so excited!
  2 HoundsDesign had been selling my designs under the name Grey Matter, and we've been doing great with it for years.  Alisha's business has taken off so well that we decided it would be more efficient if I ran the cards on my own, so ... WhOOsH!  A new website, 5 new designs to get started with, and BONUS!  The first 30 orders get a little prezzie in their package.
  
  I'm calling my new card enterprise Stroke of Green: Earth-conscious greetings and salutations.  The cards and packaging are as "green" as I can make them, which means soy inks, recycled paper envelopes, biodegradable cellophane packaging ....  Doesn't that feel good?
  
  
  
  My latest assortment of eco-friendly holiday cards!

• Check out my Sales page for originals and prints.

• Greeting cards are still available at Grey Matter.  If you're a greyhound fan, or know someone who is, find holiday and non-seasonal cards, with many designs to choose from, both funny and more serious.

• See what happened in my latest Portrait Marathon!  Occasionally I decide to pull a marathon of portrait making.  Sometimes I do digital portraits, sometimes paintings, sometimes it's caricatures!  I do these for a limited time, with sign ups announced in various places.  Come see!
