I used to dabble a bit with pen and ink line drawings - my favorite subjects were trains and trucks.  Although my early work was more "sketchy" in nature, I always tried to put as much detail as possible into my drawings, and most people who see them have said they are quite good.  So, I decided to see if I could sell any of my artwork, as a way to share it --- and maybe make a buck or three.

By laser copying my original drawings onto Basis 60 Astroparche stock made by Wausau Papers, I made up several sets of 8 note cards and matching envelopes and began selling them at railroad-related swap meets and rail shows, beginning at the Dunsmuir Railroad Days in 1997.  I got lots of compliments, a few criticisms, and sold quite a few sets.

The first sets were printed on sand-colored paper.  It gave the art a sort of antique parchment appearance, but I found that I prefered the lighter natural-colored Astroparche.  The cards are four-folded to 5-12" X 4-1/4" and have matching envelopes.

At first I sold straight sets- 8 of the same card- but then I began to mix and match as the customers requested.

Now, I am making them available to visitors to this web site, for $1.50 each for a card and an envelope, $8 per set of 8 cards and envelopes, and for $15 for a single or $21 for a double framed drawing (two drawings in one frame).  All prices include postage.

On the next page you will find a short listing of available cards/drawings along with a thumbnail pic of each.  If you would be interested in purchasing any of my artwork, please drop me an email and tell me what you would like!

Thanks,
Craig
