Living in the Monkey House
Hey all. I'm in desperate need of some feedback. I've spent the last, um, 4 or 5 days making cards and I need to know if I've been living in the monkey house. (For those of you who don't know, it's a Tim Gunn quote from the semi-finale and I'm too tired to explain it). Basically, I'm thinking about selling these on etsy and I need to know if I've gone round the bend.
First up, the envelopes:
Made out of my old German textbook from high school c.1982. I'm pretty happy with the envelopes. My only concern is that they may not be entirely straight since I made the template.
Second up, the cards:
They're in order of when I made them. I drew the first one and yes I know it's supposed to be a jelly-filled donut, but I can't draw a jelly-filled donut ok? I can't really draw all that well period, but I tried. The second is just a font, I was also thinking about making a series of these like "guten tag" and whatever other german phrases people recognize. The third is supposed to be The Hoff, but it didn't end up looking like him, so I just named him "Hans". I was thinking about doing a whole series with German sounding names, but I didn't end up liking that idea. The last one is just a scan of one of the pages in the book about food. There are about 20 foods on the same page so I could do a whole series, but I didn't know if it worked or not.
And that's all she wrote. Seriously, MONKEY HOUSE! How do they look? Am I the only person in the world who would buy them? (Note: Please feel free to answer "yes" to the following question cause I think they're fab). Also, I'm not rethinking the neon. I LOVE the neon.
Little help?
