Customer Description:

I want to use your service as a good Christmas gift! My girlfriend and I both love Star Wars! We met at a club one night and immediately fell for each other after I asked her to dance to our favorite DJ. Recreate a Star Wars version of this story where instead of the club, we meet at the cantina from Star Wars Episode 4, replace the DJ with the flute playing aliens, and draw us in an epic lightsaber fight to replace the dancing.

How Does It Look?

snail mail

Tellinga sends epistolary greeting cards through traditional snail mail. Each image is hand-drawn by a talented Tellinga artist on a 5" x 7" premium 32 pt thick greeting card-sized postcard with cool red edges. It is then placed in a 5.25" x 7.25" brown grocery bag style envelope with the customer's address used as the return address. Before your card is shipped to its location, a charity stamp, and custom wax seal are applied. Afterward, the digital copies of your story are uploaded in the "Download Your Story" section of the website and are also sent to your email to share online with family and friends. Every card shipped helps raise funds to fight Alzheimer's disease, support breast cancer research, or treat those impacted with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Elissa

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.

Michelle

Hello! I am an artist who resides in Houston, Texas. My passion is painting and illustration. I work with mostly watercolor and marker, but I am open to many types of medium. I read comics and play video games in my free time outside of drawing. My purpose is to express intimate connections and stories through art.

Patrick

Hi! I'm an artist and Houston native currently attending Lone Star College, with plans to pursue illustration at SCAD. I work with many different mediums, such as charcoal, ink, and graphite. Outside of art, I love going to concerts and hanging out with friends. I can't wait to bring your stories to life!

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, and I hope to continue to do so for both myself and others. Beyond my work, I am an amateur cosplayer and an avid collector of statues, figures, and original production art from old hand-drawn animations.
