Vegan Victuals Throwback:
Jaded Greetings

In moving some files about my external hard drive, I stumbled upon my old designs for greeting cards, a brief Etsy stint in 2012. Annoyed with what was celebrated in our society, I created Jaded Greetings. In looking back at my designs I decided that they deserve a life beyond my storage folders. Let us bask in their realism now.

We stand and cheer for the guy who loses 200 pounds but not for the one who never gained 200 pounds.

I can barely sit and hear her on the subway for 5 minutes, but someone pledged to be with her for life. One of life’s great mysteries.

And the male version. Letterpress printing them was a big expense, so I only had one designed pressed, this one below. Do you want one? I have a ton.

In adulting, evolving past high school is a must–emotionally, intellectually, and locationally. I made a card for that too.

This one! Gosh, I was jaded.

Good job!

I want to add to this friendship card series…

Ah, the loneliness of high standards. Makes you almost want to compromise all you are to fit more easily into society’s cookie cutter. Hell no!

I abhor inauthenticity.

If there can be Divorce parties, then there can be Singles Showers! 🎉

Side walk reminders for expectant parents.

An old ad I placed in Bust Magazine.

Well that was fun. I need to uplift my jaded self now. Disenchantment is a by-product of critical thinking. Though I strive to balance it with awe and wonder, I have fallen into a few holes in my time. It’s like flowers or ladybugs; pretty weeds or red beetles with dots.
