Inside: Ah Mish You, Alot.
I have always enjoyed both drawing and making people smile, so designing humorous greeting cards was a natural fit. ‘
After a career path change in 2009, I used the extra time to dedicate myself to seriously being funny (I know–oxymoron). My inspiration for PlainFolk Greetings came to me while driving through the country roads of beautiful Lancaster County, PA. It began with the simple hand-painted lettering used by people to sell their home grown produce. It was all very organic.
Naturally, Lancaster is known for it’s Amish community and the farm life in general, so that became my theme. I do try hard not to be disparaging of the Amish lifestyle when developing gags or admittedly bad puns. My featured card is a personal favorite that typifies the simple but strong message I try to offer card buyers.
