Sometimes the inspiration comes from weird places, and today that place is giftcardcollector.com. Looks like some of my favorite illustrators (Kirsten Ulve, Alexander Blue, J. Otto, etc.,) have done a giftcard for Target. It's a great skill to be able to convey a message and make it visible from a far on just 2x3.5 inches of space.I threw in the DOMO giftcard just because I couldn't stop laughing when I saw him dressed as a vampire:)

okay very funny Helen, I was just in Target about 10 min ago!! I love looking at all the new goods they have and I had to buy my little guy a Spongebob blanket. Boy do I wish I created Spongebob so I could just hang out and not work soo hard!
Ellen, funny story for you too:
The dude who created spongebob spent 8 years pitching it until it got picked up!
Nothing is too easy in this world! XO:)helen
i am actually on the 3rd stage of getting a gift card for Target finalised. i designed it at the beginning of the year... such a long process before it actually goes into production.
thanks for the headsup on these. theyre great!

I love the DOMO one! I hope you are well Miss Lovely Helen! It's SPRING here! And we're all bouncing off the walls with longing for SUMMER! I can't believe Target does such cool things over there - Target here is pretty daggy! Hurrah to you! xx
