How Does It Look?

snail mail

Tellinga (like telling a story) creates handcrafted mail art that tells your story. Mail art, also known as postal art, is an artistic movement centered on sending artwork through the postal service. Premium 5" x 7" postcards are hand-drawn by a Tellinga artist and placed in a brown grocery bag envelope with the customer's address used as the return address. Before your card is shipped, a charity stamp and custom wax seal are applied. Afterward, your story's digital copies are sent to your email to share online with family and friends. Every card shipped helps raise funds to fight breast cancer, Alzheimer's, and PTSD.

Alexis

Hi, I’m Alexis! I was born, raised, and am currently residing in Connecticut, which is also where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Illustration. As an artist, I love giving life to characters and stories to create personalized gifts for you. Beyond my work, I am an amateur cosplayer and an avid collector of statue figures. I also love original production art from old hand-drawn animations and the lost art of love letters. Mail a card to your pen pal!

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 epistolary, playing video games, listening to music, and creating love books. Mail a card today!

Annie

Hi! My name is Annie Phan. I have a BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Utah with a minor in Animation Studies. I love creating narrative illustrations and the art of visual storytelling. Besides drawing, I also love fashion designing, watching movies, reading fairy tales, traveling, and use those as inspirations for creating custom postcards.

Maurice

My name is Maurice, and I’ve been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil. At least that’s what my mother says. I spent my teenage years on a farm in Lovelady, TX., always looking for an opportunity to draw something. I attended Prairie View A&M University, where I received my BA in Art Advertising and later continued my education at the Art Institute of Houston. In recent years, I spend my time enjoying my family, educating myself in cartoons.

Joanna

Hi! Jo here! I am a graphic design student and freelance illustrator based on the East Coast. As an NFT artist, I love to create through a variety of mediums. Whether it's epistolary illustrations, music, or sculpting, I love to constantly create NFT art. Another thing I love is the ability to share that gift with someone. Mail a letter to someone you're thinking of today!

Brooke

My name is Brooke, and I am a California-based artist who loves illustration! Art has been my strongest interest since childhood, and creating unique pieces for others is one of my favorite things to do. I think storytelling is such a powerful form of expression. I would love to help visualize your love story so that you can share it with others too!

Giezelle

I'm a devoted freelance illustrator with a BFA at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I believe stories in drawings are more than a piece of the image, but to inspire others that we are not alone in our lives. I also love to create greeting cards and personalized books as unique gifts for friends and family.
