I think that all of the cards are so very beautiful and I would love to be an artist for you, I have always had a great passion for designing cards and perhaps if you get a chance you can take a look at my cards, I am very new to this business and I am really enjoying it.
Thank you so much in advance and have a lovely day.

Regards
Ingrid Wilson

There are many economic models for designers and artists to follow. What works for one may not work for another. Clearly, doing everything yourself (design, production, merchandising and distribution) allows one to keep a bigger piece of the pie. Nevertheless, working all fronts is often an enormous distraction to the artist's primary interest: design. I am thrilled that you have found a model that works successfully and that you are now able to market your artistic skills in a way that is both financially rewarding and creatively satisfying.

I am very familiar with the Constance Kay line and I feel that her greeting cards are a far cry from "art" and hardly worth the high price tag. The are priced high because she takes a 30-40% cut of the wholesale price of all her artists' cards which forces her to price them so high. How do I know this? I was one of her artists several years ago. I have to respectfully disagree here.

My sister is one of the artists featured below and her name is actually Erica DiPaolo and hers is the first image. She is terrifically talented and has a huge range of gorgeous cards. Being on Constance Kaye's roster has kept her very very very busy this year with orders -- she is having a ball! Thank you for featuring her here. :) Just wanted to note a couple of corrections!
