<p>Win 300 Custom Postcards from 1800Postcards.com!</p>
<p>Are you in the need for some <a href="http://www.1800postcards.com/postcards">postcards</a> for your business, your career or just for fun? Well you can win 300 <a href="http://www.1800postcards.com/postcards">Custom Postcards</a> for Free from 1800Postcards.com!</p>
<p>1800Postcards.com is the retail branch of Circle Press, a high-end commercial printing firm with a roster of Fortune 100 clients that includes Dior, Tiffany, Disney, American Express and most of the world’s leading brands. These companies demand nothing but the best in quality. To be specific, a quality standard called “G7″ which is only granted to printing firms that meet a very strict set of best practices and production quality. These clients sit with pre-press, have color proofs printed for spot color matching, they come in when the job is printed to make color adjustments and watch it run on the press to see the final results, the whole nine yards. They also pay tens of thousands of dollars for this type of service level.</p>
<p>1800Postcards produces your print work in the same facilities, with the same press-men and production staff, and adheres to the same quality standards as high-end commercial jobs. The only difference is that your job is “gang printed” or run together with other 1800Postcard clients, which is the secret of every online printing company and why they can be so cheap in pricing. However, 1800Postcards.com just brought it up to an almost unreasonable level of quality.</p>

They offer brochures, business cards, flyers, posters, banners, stickers and pretty much any custom work your creative mind can imagine.Bottom line, the print results are unbelievable! no one in the online printing space comes even close to this quality and attention to detail.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="intro">A few words on my new personal project.</p>
<p><span id="more-5097"></span><br />
For a while now I&#8217;ve stopped creating <a href="http://www.cutelittlefactory.com/category/tutorials">tutorials</a> and <a href="http://www.cutelittlefactory.com/category/freebies/">freebies</a> to concentrate on personal work. If you browse my <a href="http://cargocollective.com/andrea">Portfolio Gallery</a> you will see that I&#8217;ve moved away from icon design to focus exclusively on illustration. After trying out different directions (posters, typography etc.) I&#8217;ve finally settled on portrait/caricature drawing and digital painting.<br />
In my 13 years as a professional graphic artist those are the things I never really learned so from now on that&#8217;s all I&#8217;m gonna be doing. My main ongoing project is portraits of characters from TV shows and here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve done so far:</p>
<p>Frank Costanza from <em>Seinfeld:</em><br />
<img src="http://www.cutelittlefactory.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Frank-Costanza.jpg" alt="Frank Costanza" title="Frank Costanza" width="640" height="853" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5091" /></p>
<p>Tattoo from <em>Fantasy Island</em> as The Man From Another Place from <em>Twin Peaks:</em><br />
<img src="http://www.cutelittlefactory.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Fantasy-Peaks-640.jpg" alt="Fantasy Peaks" title="Fantasy Peaks" width="640" height="853" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5098" /></p>
<p>Ron Swanson from <em>Parks and Recreation</em> starring in his own spin-off series <em>&#8220;Swanson, p.i.&#8221;:</em><br />
<img src="http://www.cutelittlefactory.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Swanson-PI-640.jpg" alt="Swanson, P.I." title="Swanson, P.I." width="640" height="854" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5099" /></p>
<p>The last two are TV mashups, remixes of characters from different shows.<br />
Not only does this project allow me to practice new skills, it&#8217;s a way for me to pay tributes to the TV characters I love and the actors that play them.</p>
<p>Head over to <a href="http://andreaaustoni.com/">my personal website</a> and my <a href="http://cargocollective.com/andrea">Portfolio Gallery</a> to see detailed shots and process explanations.</p>
<p>I hope you like my new works and that they inspire you to pursue new directions too, improving your skills and having fun in the process.  </p>
