Customer Description:

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?

Happy Birthday letters 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 story turns into the best birthday letter for a best friend!

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.

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