The bane of my life...

I've got no artwork to show you but I have been doing some research, which I hate. I found the website of the GCA (greeting card association UK). On there site there is information for both publishers, writers and most importantly artist.

Over the past few days I've been going through the site and doing what it suggests. So what does it suggest?

Find a number of publishers that you are interested in and make sure they take on freelance artists. I have found that the best way to do this is not to google them. What is easier is to go to a gift/card shop and pick out a number of card you like and jot there details down from the back of the card (I've found 6 that I like this way). Also why'll you are there take a look at how the cards are set out and look at the difference between the best sellers and the general masses of cards.

Once you have this information go to there sites and look for there submission details most require .jpeg, but some want .pdf's and of course you can send by post.

Hope that helps
