How Does It Look?

Epistolary greeting cards are shipped through traditional snail mail. Each image is hand-drawn by a talented Tellinga artist on a 5.5" x 8.5" greeting card-sized postcard. It is then placed in a 6" x 9" brown grocery bag style envelope with the customer's address used as the return address. A Tellinga stamp is then applied and sent to your desired location. Afterward, the digital copies of the story are uploaded in the "Download Your Story" section of the website and also sent to your email to share online with family and friends. Your personal story turns into an unforgettable epistolary novel!

Hey there! I was born and raised on the Texas Gulf Coast and currently reside in Dallas, TX. Received my MA in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design. I now work full time as an educational illustrator but wanted another creative outlet. I also just so happen to have years of experience making personalized cards for friends and family.

Gozie

My name is Gozie, and I have wanted to be a cartoonist ever since I first held a pencil. I was born and raised in New Mexico and recently moved to Dallas, TX. I spent all of my school years doodling comics and showing them off to friends and teachers. I attended SCAD after high school, and I got my BFA and MFA in animation. Outside of drawing, my hobbies include reading comics, playing video games, listening to music, and taking walks.

Beyond my work, I am an amateur cosplayer and an avid collector of statues, figures, and original production art from old hand-drawn animations.
