Customer Description: Joseph is a chef who's preparing produce and pastries for the farmer's market just like any other day. Suddenly the food comes to life in a desperate attempt to disrupt his work and attacks him. Joe turns into an anime-style protagonist and defends himself against the food. In the end, he ends up with a perfect food display to take to market. NOTES: It'd be cool for his mo-hawk to go super saiyan and his chef's knife or whatever tool changes into an over-sized style anime weapon.

Customer Description: Heidi, Becky, and Libby went on a working retreat together. They stayed 4 nights in a lovely Marriott in Kansas City. They also stayed one night in a cabin in Iowa, that wasn't so lovely and turned out to not be a cabin at all. A wonderful day was spent brainstorming at the Nearwood Winery, in Knoxville, IA. Their host and hostess, Mike and Joann, gave them a brief lesson on the process of winemaking, took them on a tour of the winery & vineyards, and treated them to lunch. Heidi and Becky enjoyed a bit of Vino, while Libby drank copious cups of hot herbal tea. Over their five days together, Becky, Libby, and Heidi worked, learned from one another, ate loads of great food, and laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed. They are Three Amigos - Three Peas in a Pod - Three Wise Woman - and sometimes when they are together it can be a bit of a Three Ring Circus!

Customer Description: I’m using Tellinga for an anniversary gift. My boyfriend Casey and I are celebrating one year together. He works in video games so I’d love a story that incorporates something pertaining to games. One of my favorite memories was taking a camping trip with our friends and learning about spiders with our park ranger at lake mineral wells state park. He was so excited while I was intrigued but afraid. We’re moving to California this summer for his new job and he’s assured me he will protect me from all of the spiders!

Customer Description: Me and my boyfriend were together for 5 years and living together. Then we moved apart with the hopes of being able to save for our own home, however, the distance ended up breaking us apart. We've recently started being in contact again via letters and are hopeful of reuniting again in the future and growing old together. This will be for his birthday and thought it'll be a fitting thoughtful gift and to keep in line with our old school way of communicating via letters. He loves anime, his name's Ralston and mine's Hilary if it will help the story be more personalized. I would like some narration to the story so that the recipient can understand the story better.

Customer Description: One time, mom and daughter one time go on vacations.

Customer Description: Two brothers, ages 11 and 9, names Alex and Anthony. They’re both pretty good in math, but they have some deficiencies. Alex is a little lazy (makes sloppy mistakes), and Anthony likes to use his fingers when counting/multiplying (even though he makes A’s in math) - but I tell him to stop (he should know the answer without using his fingers).

I playfully told Alex he can slay math, he can be the Zoro of math. He then elaborated and excitedly said, “I’d have a sword with a pen at the base of the handle!” So maybe the following scenes for 3 different cards.

Title - The Math Heroes 

Card One:  A scene where Alex (in his normal face) and Anthony both encounter a robotic monster trying to enter a vault, and they both have to save the day. Anthony has to use his hands to hold back the monster (thus not able to use his hands, please flatter him with some biceps) while Alex reemerges as Zoro. Anthony estimates the monster weighs 315 pounds plus 37 pounds for the sword he’s yielding. Alex (Zoro) asks Anthony what’s the monsters total weight (which he has to decipher in his head = 352). Alex then chops up the monster in four pieces, and proudly says, “There are four pieces each weighing 88 pounds.” The stand-in victory over the chopped monster.

You can modify if need be, but something along those lines.


Card Two: Alex and Anthony walking by a burning building. An old lady and her dog need to jump. The lady yells/asks Anthony how much weight he can catch, and he says 150 pounds, and she says “I’m 115 and my dog is 34 pounds” … before he can count on his fingers, they both jump! He catches them (with big biceps of course) and says, “You were 1-pound within my range - whew!” She replies, “Thank goodness you did the math in your head, and not with your fingers, or you would have dropped us!” Alex (Zoro) is then seen holding a sword in one hand and a firetruck water hose in the other hand and says, “Considering the size of this building, we have less than 5-minutes to prevent it from spreading to other buildings! Increase water pressure!” The final scene, happy lady and happy dog, with surrounding buildings saved - and Alex and Anthony in victory smile. 


Card Three: Alex and Anthony are surfing. A big whale appears and says, “I like meat on my bones, but you’ll be my appetizer.” (they’re both skinny). Alex says to Anthony, “Hold his mouth open.” Then Alex jumps into the whale's mouth and reemerges as Zoro. Alex asks Anthony, “How many teeth does the whale have?” Anthony replies, “I see about 40 in the upper quadrant, so probably 160!” Alex/Zoro replies, “At two seconds per slice, I need about 5 minutes - keep his mouth open, Anthony!!” The final scene - standing on the toothless whale with boys wrapping their arms around each other in victory! Please emphasize their wavy/curly hair when in normal face. 

Customer Description: I met my husband 19 years ago, and it was love at first sight. We went from homeless to a hotel, to an apartment, then to a house. Brought 4 beautiful children into this world, and there is no end in sight. Life has been an adventure, and we can't wait to see what new adventures await our entire family!

Customer Description: Devyn and I (Austin) have been dating for 10 months now (friends for much longer), but the last few months have been long distance due to my new job as a Middle School teacher in California. Before moving out here, we road-tripped together all the way from my hometown of Cincinnati, OH to Santa Ana, CA. On the way we stopped in Kansas City to eat BBQ together, Denver for a night out on the town, Arches National Park for scenic hikes (pictured), and Las Vegas for some high stakes fun (pictured). It was an amazing and intimate experience before having to start our long-distance relationship (we'll be separated for about 2 years). There were over 30 hours spent holding hands and listening to music in the car while taking in the sites as well. We laughed, cried, sang, and cuddled a lot on that trip.

Customer Description: There was a girl who knew she needed a life change. As a lover of nature, she decided to quit her job and get on a flight to New Zealand. She walked through mountains, explored glowworm caves, found a home in Hobbiton, and drew sketches in lupine fields. She worked as a coffee runner and dishwasher in a cafe in a little town next to the sea and spent her days off climbing the mountain for a view of her new home and the bright blue water surrounding it. Then, she fulfilled a dream by moving to an animal sanctuary, spending her days in the company of goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, dogs, and cats. She met interesting people who expanded her view of the world. There were hard times too, which helped her grow and learn what an independent badass she is. And by the time she was boarding her flight back, she knew she would never be the same again.

Customer Description: Me and my husband on our vacation trips.

Customer Description: Desiree is a very smart and artistic 15 year old. We (memaw & papa) adopted her when she was about 3. We have taken many vacations across the country for her to have new experiences and learn more. She sometimes struggles with her self- esteem. She loves to have fun. Her favorite activities are on the computer and anything artistic. She draws very well for her age. She also loves to watercolor paint. She learned a lot in Spanish and cannot wait to learn more. We live in a small town that limits what is available, but she loves school receiving 1 B and the rest A's last year. We recently took her to Universal Studios so she could visit the Harry Potter section, and she loved it plus has her own wand now. She likes anime.

Customer Description: My name is Iris and my girlfriend's name is Jaymee. I met Jaymee in a psychology class and I was always enamored by her and would always want to talk to her but was too shy. I would look at her during class when she wasn’t looking and I would always be excited to go to the class just to see her. The class ended and I never did get a chance to talk to her because I was too intimidated to talk to her. Until one day, I saw her at school and I always dreamed of taking to her so I went up to her and talked about the class and she was so beautiful just like I remembered. I asked my friends if they knew her and one of them had her Instagram so I messaged her and we started talking. We messaged every day and I would always get so excited when she texted. She asked me out with a handwritten letter and I was so happy. Then we went on dates and the more I got to know her the deeper I fell for her. It’s her birthday so maybe the end can say happy birthday Jaymee, I love you.

Customer Description: One day, we were on a trip to visit a beautiful waterfall, when suddenly an evil monkey tried to attack me to steal something (my phone probably)! Luckily my boyfriend and superhero Lim was there to protect me from that monkey, he gives him a bottle of cold tea to drink. Suddenly the monkey didn't want to attack us anymore and started drinking from the bottle. My boyfriend saved me and we were both happy :D - I'm having a long-distance relationship with him (Lim lives in Indonesia, I (Paulien) live in Belgium), we love to call each other by each others name or we call each other 'sweetheart'. I'm adding some photos of the day this happened.

Customer Description: I like the one about Ema the Princess you have for your one week example. I met a woman, Moon who is very independent, and smart, intelligent, a real rennasance woman making her way through life. We met and clicked. I am Jim.

Customer Description: Please tell the story of how Mrs. Charis and Elliot became BFFs. Learning is a life long process and we should invite learners of all ages to participate in learning activities. Elliot is a 2nd grader and is 8 years old. Mrs. Charis has been a teacher for over 50 years. The seed of their friendship started when Mrs. Charis taught Elliot Sunday School at church. On Thursday mornings Elliot goes Mrs. Charis' house where Mrs. Charis helps Elliot with math, reading, and science. The activities planned are nowhere near as important as the love and bond between the two. The bond they share is a gift. Older individual imprinting on a younger person and a younger person providing comfort to an older person. Some activities they do together after schoolwork are gardening, cooking and going on adventures like out for a burger and shake. They are simply precious together. Attached is a photo of Elliot age 8 and Mrs. Charis age 83 and a photo of the sweet drawing by Elliot expressing her love of Charis

Customer Description: Hello, my name is Yoon and this story is for a girl I'm seeing (Jiheh). It's not fora any special occasion - I just think it would be a cute and unique gift :) I was referred to by my friend Alex Lee (Rice MBA). I would like the story to be in a B&W manga style. She's really into Asian historical/magical drama (strange, I know). She can be the heroine going on an ancient quest to save a prince (me). She would go on this quest with her magical beast that looks like a Jindo dog named Bella. Her ultimate challenge is to magically and miraculously eat 10,000 dishes of jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles), which happens to be her favorite, yet it still presents a challenge. In the end, she prevails. Upon succeeding, she receives a potion. Then she travels back to the prince to feed him the potion. The key is that once the prince (I) recover, my hair is slicked back with short sides, rather than down (see picture). Kinda like how Dragon Ball Z changes hair when they transform... She then falls in love with me. Happy ending! The ending is super weird, but she really wanted my hair to be up with my forehead showing since we met. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks.

Customer Description: This is for a project on Tellinga. We don't need the story sent every other day. can be sent all at once. The sooner the better. Thanks!**** Four Rice Business students were placed in a group together and tasked with creating a marketing plan for a company already in business. While searching for a gift for his girlfriend, Ayo found and recommended we reach out to Tellinga. They spent the semester reading up on marketing frameworks and completing cases to develop their skills. At the end of the semester, they handed in their project to Professor Nell Putnam-Farr. She loved loved the project and all the work they put into it.

Customer Description: My name is Chloe, and my little sister, Jessica enjoys coming to visit me in Seattle during her Christmas break. She lives in Hawaii, so she enjoys seeing the snow here in Washington. This last Christmas she came down to visit and we had so much fun doing lots of touristy things! We saw the Space Needle, Butterfly gardens, and spent a few nights at a cabin in Mount Rainier where it snowed. As all trips evenly end she went back home to Hawaii, but there isn't a day that I don't think of her.

Customer Description: My dad was so happy with the Charles the Rat artwork from my first order that I want to order him 3 more to be sent at the end of the year by the SAME artist (Gozie Okoro). Reminder: My dad used to tell us stories of a naughty, but beloved rat who would cause trouble around the house. In these 3 pieces, please have Charles the Rat celebrating Hanukkah, visiting the ducks at the low water crossing (just like my dad does all the time -- I attached a picture of one that is similar to the one he uses) and celebrating New Year's and ringing in 2020 with a little chaos. Please make my dad the main human character in the pieces. Optional to add my mom in if you want. Attached is a picture of the ducks that my dad visits every few days and feeds duck food. I also attached a picture of my parents. For the Hanukkah card, maybe Charles the Rat has eaten all the latkes my mom just fried in a pan before my dad can have any? Or is playing dreidel with other rats/mice/raccoons/whatever like it's a hot poker game? Have fun with it. Thanks!! He really loved the first one that you sent him.

She drove a white Audi Q5 SUV and I drove a Silver Lexus IS 250. (if you draw those into the backdrop or something, great! If not, no worries). 3. Some sappy happily ever after ending. (You are welcome to get creative with it!).

I have nicknamed him Brown Bear, bc he’s fuzzy ;) Went to Memorial High School in Houston together (he’s a year older) but we dated the other’s friends then. I played volleyball and ran track, he played soccer. Reunited at my best friend Markley’s lake house in April Sound on Lake Conroe his senior/my junior college years. I stayed up later than another girlfriend of mine with her eye on him to be alone with him, even though he had peed off the deck onto my volleyball earlier. True love stuff, right? He later conveniently got “left behind” at the restaurant where I waitressed so I drove him home in my Jeep and he made me take a detour to a street with a lake named Shady Grove Lane. Where he kissed me for the first time. Started dating right after in 94, all the way through his law school. Then he took me back to Shady Grove Lane and asked me to marry. At night. We were both trying to see how the ring looked in the headlights. Married in 1997! I had our first boy in 2003. Named him Barrett Lane, partly bc of his dad’s Bear nickname and all, but Lane is my hubby's middle name. Nowadays we call him Big Bear. 6’2” 220 - my baby is humongous. Had our second boy in 2005, Jack Grady, the same middle name as my father. He is themed a Jack Rabbit in our home (fitting, he’s non-stop crazy) but we call him Baby Jack. (Youngest of 4 grandkids, it just stuck). We love our outdoorsy family!! They crack me up and make me nuts every. damn. day. And thank the sweet Baby Jesus I learned to cook, bc for the love of God those boys can EAT!! Oh, and by the way, my hubby's bday is New Year's Eve so he gets screwed outta most of everything except boozy lighting of his favorite Oreo cheesecake he requests I make every year. And every year I forget candles so sparklers come in handy.

Customer Description: My crazy yet lovable Mother-in-law that has the wildest birthday party of her life.

Customer Description: Brandon is a national park ranger who loves animals (especially pika and bears), the moon/space, and rock climbing. He's been a ranger at Glacier National Park, Organ Pipe National Monument, and Mt. Rainier. I would like his adventure to take place at Glacier National Park's Cracker Lake, rescuing a tiny pika that is visiting from the moon (so, an alien pika). They hike back down the trail together and battle a nasty wolverine from Jupiter in the forest. In order to return the pika home, Brandon finds the entrance to the moon hidden on the Going to the Sun Road. The entrance turns out to be hidden behind the "weeping wall". The exit is the "Going to the moon Road" which will lead the pika home. After saying goodbye to his new pika friend, Brandon walks further on the deserted road to watch the sun set over Glacier National Park, and turns to see the moonrise, and knows the pika is safe. The park rangers day is complete.

We live separate lives. She lives in Vegas and I live in Memphis but we still talk every day. She is the love of my life and always has been, just that other things keep blocking us from being together due to other relationships, my marriage, etc. But no matter what, she is still always there to be that friend that I need. We are both women, my name is Ashley, hers is Jasmine and we both work long hours in health care and the thing we have most in common is our love for music and each other.

Customer Description: Hello! It will be my first year anniversary with me and my boyfriend Kevin! I went to Colorado for vacation and went on a hike near Boulder. He was my hiking guide and we had a great time talking and getting to know each other. I had just gone through a tough breakup and wasn’t expecting to meet anyone, to be honest, but he was so funny and kind. I asked him out and the same night, we had tacos for dinner, challenged each other to games at an arcade, and I didn’t want the date to end because I loved his company so much. We ended up going up to the mountains to stargaze (and makeout) late into the night. The catch, I’m Canadian and live in Toronto. We had no idea at the time what we were getting ourselves into, the long distance makes it very difficult (especially with the coronavirus pandemic), but Kevin is 150% worth it. Fast forward to July 2019, I visited Kevin in CO and began to fall in love with him. He is patient, generous, hilarious, and a good-hearted person. We went for hikes, ate ice cream, visited a local Farmer’s Market, went dancing, and smoked pot (can you please depict this in the greeting card?). I was still healing from my previous relationship, yet he was completely understanding of what I needed and helped me throughout the process. This meant so much to me and made me love him so much. And here we are in March 2020. We were supposed to go to Ecuador but canceled all our plans due to the pandemic. It has been tough, but we can’t do it very much. The borders are closed. We do however know for sure we want to get married one day. We’ve daydreamed about what our future looks like and having similar values makes it even more fun. We want to spend a year doing the van life, either exploring New Zealand and Australia together, then going to Bali. OR doing the van life from Alaska down to California. We love being outdoors, we love trees and flowers, we are “modern hippies” at heart. He makes me a better person, he’s taught me what a healthy relationship is, and he’s shown me how to love myself. Oh! We also love dogs! I’m not sure if you can express that all in one card, but I really hope you can. I want to convey how much I freaking love him!

Customer Description: My name is Hannah and my boyfriend’s name is Alex. I am from Toronto, Canada and he is originally from Pittsburgh, PA. Due to Covid-19, we currently can’t see each other due to the border being closed and travel bans in place. When this is over, we will be moving to Los Angeles together (where he currently resides but is stuck in PA until this blows over!). I just wanted to say I miss him so much, love him even more and can’t wait to be together where we feel like home.

Customer Description: Hubby and I met 5 years ago through our ex-husband and ex-wife. My ex and his were secretly dating for 6 years, I found out about it, looked him up, and told him what was happening. We helped each other in each other's divorces and in the process fell in love and we married. 5 years later we're still happily married and in love. He's 15 years older than me, but love is love!

Customer Description: Names - Ali Arcaro (Birthday Girl) and Kaine Lynch Genders - Ali (Female) and Kaine (Male) Ages - Ali (Turning 22) and Kaine (22) Ali wants to become a doctor eventually so the entire story is us going on an adventure for her to get the magic potion that will turn her into the most intelligent and powerful Wizard Doctor in the universe. I would like the entire 3 part story to be in a Japanese Manga format (style) and drawing style but each individual card is a different fictional universe. The first part (card) being the Lord of the Rings world (universe). The second part (card) being Marvel Avengers world (universe). And the third part (card) being the Harry Potter world (universe). She is really into those three different books and movies and it would be so cool to incorporate them all with each individual card. Part 1 - (Japanese Mange Style in the Lord On The Rings World) - Ali (Birthday girl and lead character) and Kaine meet and agree to go on an adventure together to find the magic potion that will turn her into the most powerful wizard doctor in the universe. Part 2 - (Japanese Manga Style in the Marvel Avengers world) - Ali (Birthday girl and lead character) and Kaine continue on their adventure to find the magical potion and fight off bad guys in the Marvel Universe to get the potion. Part 3 - (Japanese Manga Style and in the Harry Potter world) - Ali (Birthday girl and lead character) and Kaine find the potion in the harry potter world where she drinks it and becomes the most powerful wizard doctor in the universe and teaches at Hogwarts where I'm a student in Slytherin. Thank you!! I know its a lot but I think it would be so cool altogether. You guys rock!! For reference - I really like the style and format in your one-week examples of the B&W manga girl who is going on an ancient quest to save the prince with her dog Bella. If it could be similar or the same to that with color that would be awesome!!!

Customer Description: Please have Gozie Okoro do 3 more cards for my parents. The first is Charles the Rat wishing my dad a Happy Birthday.

Customer Description: Vinny's birthday is the 28th Aug so this is for his birthday. (Vinny is the one with glasses) Wet had our first date on Brighton beach and as we were walking along the beach fireworks went off overhead. We are still together even though he lives in Galway Ireland and I live in Brighton UK currently. Vinny is the kindest person I have ever met he is so loving and puts up with me. He really loves the 80's and the music from then. Adam (without glasses) I am like a Disney villain crossed with Spock for Star Trek but with a sense of humour. we both love food and eating out and spa days.

Customer Description: My name is Chris. I met my girlfriend Sophia at a Christmas party. I am a Longhorn and she is an Aggie but we hit it off pretty much instantly. We ended up kissing under the mistletoe at the party and celebrated Christmas and New Year's together. Things moved fast but we have been together ever since! I was hoping to get a story made for her of that holiday break, she has mentioned that she would like something when I showed her Tellinga and I think the story of how we met would really make her happy!

Customer Description: Danny, I am so proud of you and Mary's educational accomplishments and hard work. You met at UT while studying abroad in France, pursuing your degrees. I am happy that you both finished up at UT, got married, and decided to get MBA's from Rice. Although the economy is rough right now, I am sure it will be worth it in the long run. Maybe Eleanor and Raymond will end up getting PhD's!

Customer Description: This story is for my 77-year-old mom, Katina, who is currently in deep self-quarantine due to COVID b/c she's in a high-risk category. Right now, we were supposed to be in Greece together (our family is from Greece so she goes every couple years to see family), yet she is stuck in her apartment in Arizona when she would otherwise be drinking wine and eating cheese off our ancestral home's balcony overlooking the sea, that she renovated. Part 1 Katina, the only daughter of Greek immigrant parents, inherited a completely dilapidated house on the beach on a small Greek island. To reach the house, one had to hike down the side of a steep gravely mountain trail along a goat path, and when she first inherited it, it had no roof, the neighbors were storing their goats in it, it had no electricity or plumbing of any type, and other neighbors had taken over an outdoor closet and turned it into their own home. Part 2 Katina spent the better part of 20 years renovating that home, as a testament to her father's life. She saved every penny, spending her summers on the island to complete it. She carried every tool, every construction material, every single object for that house down the side of the mountain on her back. She battled with contractors, with the weather, with the years, with the neighbors, with the government, and with the sea to finish that home. She put her blood, sweat, and tears into it. Part 3 After 20 years, the home is finally done. You can sit on the balcony, overlooking the water at sunset, and enjoy a glass of Greek wine. You can fall asleep at night to the sound of the waves, and rest safely in the work of my great-grandfather's and my mother's loving hands. It is a dreamy spot to relax and summer.

Customer Description: My husband John and I have been married for 18 years and have a daughter Jonnie Sue who is 16. In March we went on our first ever trip to Cancun Mexico. I would like to use this experience as the basis for celebrating Father's Day. He really is a wonderful father and loves us more than anything.

Customer Description: I'd like for Gozie Okoro to make 3 more Charles the Rat cards for Father's Day. A reminder that Charles is a naughty rat who causes trouble. I'd like one card that says "Happy Father's Day", one with Charles the Rat checking out the neighborhood deer (moms and babies) who hang out under the shade of the trees, and one that is Pandemic themed (wearing a mask maybe?).

Customer Description: I'm making this for my fiance's Birthday as we are doing long distance. his name is Karim, and mine is Sandra. I'd like for the story to be in the form of a comic, where long distance is in the form of a monster that we fight off with our love.

Card 1 (3 panels):  1) Friends developing feeling for each other (picture "Old 1") 2) love growing 3) Long distance breaking us apart Card 2 (3 Panels): 1) we find love again (picture title "New 2") 2) him fighting the distance monster 3) We get engaged (picture title "engagement 1") Card 3 (2 panels):  1) An imagination of us reuniting in our house cozy on a couch with a dog (picture title "Card 3-1") 2) Me blowing a kiss, with "Happy Birthday, Karim.

Customer Description: My name is Greg, my girlfriend's name is Ali. We met at school during our freshman year and our first experience together was sharing scorpion bowls, where she drank me under the table. The picture where I have a suit on and she has a dress is from that night. Could you draw us in those clothes drinking from the same scorpion bowl with separate straws? We spent the fourth of July together on the beach in Amagansett, NY. We had a picnic on the beach for dinner, drank wine, and watched the fireworks from the beach. Lastly, I drove out to NYC from Boston to meet her in the city for a weekend before we parted ways for this semester.

Customer Description: My name is Jared and this is for my girlfriend Alex for our 1-year anniversary. We met in veterinary school and she was my best friend through all of it. I never imagined I would date my best friend and we did a lot together. Hikes, football, and just tons of wacky adventures. We started dating in our final year and I took her on our first date spelunking (since we were friends and already did dinners normally I made the first date unique) and then had some of the best ice cream EVER! After we graduated we started long distance. She works in Maryland as a mixed animal vet (cows, dogs, cats) and I work in Iowa doing diagnostic medicine (lab work in reportable diseases and aquaculture). Long distance is rough, especially during a pandemic. We call daily and every day it makes me miss her more. Someday we (and our three pups) will all be together again.

Customer Description: Hi! My name is Cherie, I am 32 years old. my fiance's name is Michael and he is 38 years old. He lives in Poland and I'd like to send him the 3 part story cards for his Birthday. We met backpacking the Appalachian Trail last year, we hiked half of it together. I would like this to be the first card There are 2 pictures with each of us at the 400-mile marker - I was hoping the first card could be with both of us combined in front of the mile marker and if you could draw 1000 instead of the 400, just with more leaves/green in the background since it was summer at the 1000 miles that would be awesome For the second I was hoping to have the picture of us in front of the Christmas tree as we spent Christmas in Poland together in 2019 For the third I'd like to combine both of our photos sitting in front of the highest Mountain Peak in Ireland, Mount Carrauntoohil in Ireland. I don't know if I can add words to the cards but I'd like to say 1)From backpacking the Appalachian trail... 2) to spending Christmas in Poland... 3) to climbing the Highest Mountain in Ireland.... to whatever our next adventure may be, I will always love you. Happy Birthday, Michael! Thank you Tellinga Team!

Customer Description: My girlfriend Colleen, and I met in graduate school for biomedical science. We went to a school that was a very unfamiliar environment for both of us. However, we met through a study group, and really started as friends. After several months, we realized our chemistry was too great to stay just friends. We had a lot of ups and downs in the beginning (conflicting interests within the group, sort of like dating a coworker) but we managed to come out a stronger couple after each obstacle. Our ability to listen and reason with each other is what makes us so great. We keep each other focused and keep each other smiling/laughing. She’s my best friend, and together we make a dream team.

Customer Description: Hi Gozie Okoro -- I'm back with another order of Charles the Rat cards for my parents. But this time there is a new character to include. Sunny, our new male collie puppy (like Lassie) who is currently 3 months old. My parents are in love with him, though from a distance. Can you please create a series with naughty Charles the Rat and the affable and fun-loving (but also innocent) puppy Sunny (who always has one ear up and one ear tipped down)? One card in which they meet for the first time. One for Halloween, and one in which they are thankful" as a lead up to Thanksgiving. Please see the Thanksgiving one you did last year and try to do something different this time around. Love your work and so do my parents. Thanks!! - Susan

Customer Description: My name is Grant, and I would like to send my wife, Jessica, a gift that celebrates our first wedding anniversary!

 For our second date, I brought her to my friend's Halloween party, where I was a gladiator, and she was a warrior princess. After the party, I took her home, and right before I said goodbye, I nervously asked her if she had ever kissed a gladiator before. She smiled and said, "No," so I went for it and kissed her for the first time outside of her house. After dating for one year, I decided that she was my one and only. I rented out the whole balcony overlooking the Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas and proposed to her. We got married one year later. She arrived in a horse-drawn carriage similar to something you would see in Cinderella. We put our vows on a hand-painted canvas and used it as the backdrop for our big moment.

Customer Description: My name is Lauren and my boyfriend’s name is John. I am creating and sending this story to him to celebrate our one-year anniversary which was on Valentine's Day. We first met on Valentine's Day when we were both traveling for work. He took me out that night to a really fancy Italian restaurant. We hit it off and he kissed me after our date. I live in Toronto, Canada and he lives in Manhattan. Due to Covid-19, we currently can’t see each other due to the border being closed and travel bans in place. When this is over, we will be moving to Los Angeles together. I just wanted to say I miss him so much, love him even more, and can’t wait to be together where we feel at home.

Customer Description: My name is James, and I want to send this story as a gift to my wife, Olivia, for Mother's Day. Emily and Austin are our amazing children.

Emily has grown to enjoy dancing, and Austin loves puzzles. With the support of my mom, dad, brother, and most importantly, Olivia, I feel like I have it all. I absolutely love my wife, and she is the most amazing mom!

Customer Description: My girlfriend’s name is Jacqueline (picture1 and 3) and my name is Carlos (picture 2 and 4) and we have a long-distance relationship.

Scene 1: Both of us in a uber (Picture 5) I would like this scene to just recreate the picture. Scene 2: Both of us hugging each other in front of the Minneapolis airport. Scene 3: Jacqueline saying “It took him almost two months, holy!” and the tied white shoes hanging in the tree (picture 6). Story 3: Written “How it is going to be” on top of it. Scene 1: I would like the drawing to show both of us at the airport, Jacqueline on the right running towards me. I will be on the left holding an airport pickup sign that has “Ugly American” written on it. Scene 2: Giving her a bouquet of flowers in the woods.

Customer Description: My name is Geena and I would love for you to help illustrate a love story. I met Rian working at a hotel in Burlington, Vermont back in 2013. He was the breakfast cook and I was the breakfast server. He asked me out on a cold day in March 2014 after starting a fire to warm ourselves up while snowshoeing. A few months later, we flew down to Florida and went skydiving, where he said "I love you" for the first time - right before he jumped out of the plane! While in Florida, we bought a mini-pig together, named Porkchop, who is now 6 years old. Porkchop, Rian, and I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in 2015 and later to Utah in 2018 where Rian proposed in the Moab desert. We just moved outside of Salt Lake City, ready to start a new adventure together.

Customer Description: We met in 2016 when I was an exchange student in Michigan. We became close right away and fell in love over winter break, started dating right after. Our first date came before that, we went to watch Dr. Strange, supposedly as friends, but then I asked him to kiss me, and he did. It didn’t last long, he was in a bad mental state and we were unintentionally hurting each other. He started dating a mutual friend not long after, which created some problems between us for a while, but we got through it and stayed friends. They broke up when she went to Costa Rica as an exchange student, and I helped him through it. He came to visit me and fell in love. I didn’t buy it. I thought it was a rebound. Time passed and I had to accept that his feelings were real and that I’d fallen for him too. Distance is hard, but we do everything we can to make it easier. We read together, watch shows and movies and football together, send each other funny videos, journal, do everything we can to make it better. Our political and philosophical and life views align. It’s like two puzzle pieces that perfectly fit. He came to visit recently and it confirmed everything I already thought about our relationship. With Christmas coming soon, I want to send him something special that will reflect what this whole journey has been, and to help it seem like we’re a bit closer than we actually are. (I’m from Mexico, live in Mexico City).

Customer Description:  I’m Robert and my girlfriend's name is Nadiyah. We met 7 months ago in Fort Lee, Virginia while learning our jobs for the Marine corps. We fell in love In Virginia, but unfortunately, life had other plans for us. She was sent to San Diego, California and I was sent to Okinawa, Japan. We’ve had a tough time dealing and coping with the distance, but we both love each other deeply. Things have been rough for us lately due to the distance, so I’d like to create a story of our first meeting, us being separated and then a moment of us finally being reunited again to show her that this will only be temporary and that life will once again have us reunited. We bonded very heavily over are love for music and avocados. The avocados might seem corny, but we genuinely love them so much.

Customer Description: I'm using Tellinga as a way to show my gratitude to my girlfriend and give her a memorable gift. Part one: We met on campus this fall and it was during covid, so we had face masks on. It's a running thing between her friends about my eyes (nice eye shape long lashes and long eyebrows) and how "intimidating" they are. She says this because we made a lot of eye contact that eventually brought us together. I'd love for us to be wearing face masks and making eye contact (no glasses on her, we're at Gettysburg College if you'd like details for the background, but the main focus is us, not the background) Part two: As the fall semester continued, the leaves started changing and one thing we did was go on bike rides. Would love to see us on a bike ride with the beautiful fall leaves in the background (different colors, some falling, some on the trees. No masks, no glasses on her, she's new to biking so I would be leading the way!) Part three: The picture is how our relationship is now currently. We found out that our spring semester is going to be remote, so we won't be able to see each other for 9 months and we're 730 miles away. The thing we do is call every night and journal together before we sleep. We also have the phrase "under the same moon" that we use when we want to feel together no matter how far apart. (Would love to incorporate looking at the moon while holding journals and show that we're apart, glasses, no glasses, your choice, no masks). Thank you & Enjoy!

Customer Description: Kate and I (Caroline) have known each other since November of 2019. We were immediately drawn to each other and have an amazing connection. We love a lot of the same things and especially love to do them together like watching funny TikToks together, watching movies, playing switch together, and road-tripping! Kate is 25 (F) and I’m 22 (F). We are both in the military and our most recent speed bump has been me being stationed in Japan, making us long distance (she still lives in Arizona). Some of our most memorable moments together are going to find the best local ramen shops in Arizona (that's definitely our thing) and our awesome road trips through the southwest full of true crime and scary story podcasts. We also love going to this antique shop called the Armadillo Barn together, and one time she got me this bear I really wanted from there, that would be so cool to see drawn out! I am currently blondish-brown and we both have lots of tattoos!

Customer Description: Please have Gozie create 3 more Charles the Rat pieces for my parents. 1) Charles and our dog Sunny (a collie puppy) meet my brother's new dog Hardy. Hardy is a small King Charles Spaniel. Maybe there's a funny way to have a play on the word "Charles" (as in Charles the Rat and King Charles Spaniel)? See attached pic of Hardy. 2) Hardy, Sunny, Charles the Rat and Stan (he'd be wearing the green visor as he's the "dealer") all playing dreidels with gold gelt coins for Hanukkah a la the classic Dogs Playing Poker artwork. See attached example. 3) A "Happy Birthday Sally" card where Charles is doing something naughty. Sally is famous for her chocolate cakes and her obsession with dark chocolate so maybe he's caught ruining her cake or eating her hidden stash of chocolate (she hides the good chocolate from my dad). Thanks!

Customer Description: My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost 4 years now. She was a foreign exchange student in my senior year of high school. We eventually started dating. When she first left, we were unsure of what to do with our feelings and whether we could have a long distance relationship. 2 weeks after she left, I made the decision that changed our lives and went to France to be with her for a few weeks. We had an amazing time and it set up a foundation for our relationship. Since then we travel a couple of times a year to see each other. She now studies in Sherbrooke, Canada to be closer and we see each other much more often now. We love to go on adventures. We have been to Rome, the southeast of France on the Mediterranean, and plenty of other places in France, New York, and Quebec City, Nashville, and other places also. I love her and can't wait to go on many more adventures. This is for her bday, so I wanted to make a flashback Story of our relationship.

Customer Description:  Definitely want You to come up with a fun story. The main character is Sohan (the kid with the dark hair), he also has a brother Sachin. He loves his Mamu (his name for his long-haired uncle in the pic in the family pic) as well as the rest of his family (Neema, Dede, Mama, and Papa). Hope all this info helps you come up with something fun for an 8-year-old!

Customer Description:  My name is Sonja and I am sending this to my boyfriend, Brian, for our 3 year anniversary. We met his senior year of high school through theater. We were cast as girlfriend and boyfriend in a one-act play. About a month later we had a snow day at school and we went on our first date. We went skating and made a snowman. He is two grades above me so that spring he graduated and enrolled at the University of Minnesota. Luckily I live close to there so we were able to keep dating. However, this year I moved to South Carolina, so we won't be able to celebrate our anniversary together in person. I just want him to know he is still always on my mind and miss him a lot.

Customer Description:  Hi my name is Lane and my girlfriend's name is Hailey. We are 23 and 24. We have been dating for a while and my work requires me to be away from home for long periods of time. I wanted to capture in three cards a memory/picture from one of our past vacations to Nepal. A picture of a potential adventure for the future. Lastly a picture of us in a nice outdoor scene. We are avid, campers, hikers, mountain bikers, and skiers/snowboarders. We also reside in Colorado enjoying the mountains. Two of the pictures attached are just to show what we look like. The picture of us in the mountains is of Nepal. Hope this helps and looking forward to seeing the results!

Customer Description:  My name: Bishal (in Nepal, 26 Y/O) Her name: Shova (in USA, 24 Y/O) Story: Bishal is in Nepal and one day randomly decides to find his true love. Then he gets on his spaceship and then goes to the Moon, Venus, Sun, Milky Way galaxy, but finds nothing. Then he goes to the center of the universe and then finds a huge palace there. There was a huge gathering of people and every single one of them was in true love. Some were hugging in the park outside the palace, some dancing, some with babies, except one GIRL. In one instant, Bishal knew that she was the one. She had long shiny dark brown hair, a perfect figure, glossy lips, and wet eyes, and snow-white skin. She looked really happy from the outside but at the same time, she was like a missing jigsaw puzzle piece. As she was just trying to jump and catch some apples from a tree, Bishal approached her. He plucked an apple and gave it to her. As they looked at one another, all of the people gathered started looking at them. They just could not stop staring at each other. Right then, Bishal got on his knees, pulled out the most beautiful diamond ring from his pocket, and said, "The story of our love is only beginning. Let's write our own happy ending. Will you be my Valentine for the rest of my life?" She burst out in tears and said, "Yes Bishal, you are my missing puzzle. I waited for you for 1000 years." Everyone claps and then the atmosphere got more lively than ever and the party that followed was the grandest party that ever was.

Customer Description:  My name is Utsav (Indian) and my girlfriend's name is Nada (Lebanese). We first met in 2015 in our Master's program at UC Berkeley in our dorm called I-House (International house). The first time she spoke to me was because she had forgotten her passport in the dorm during the winter holidays and I was the only person in the dorm who was there at that time so she asked me for my help. From 2016 till 2019 we have been close friends. In 2019 I threw her a birthday party (Feb 25th, 2019) in my yard where all our friends were doing a painting session. Nada is an amazing artist and painter. Her favorite is Salvador Dali. That birthday was when we both felt something for each other. But we didn't act on it till later in July 2019. By the time we confessed our feelings I had to leave the US due to visa issues but we have been trying hard to make things work long distance. We had an amazing trip to Malaysia and Dubai and hope to make this last when I return to the US soon. Also, I adore her cheeks and smile! I also like making silly faces and annoying her over our long video calls.

Customer Description:  Names are Moshe and Sarah. Boyfriend and girlfriend. Part I: Moshe and Sarah both move to Scotland to complete postgraduate research and degrees at the University of Edinburgh. They go on walks through the Edinburgh Meadows, to the Edinburgh castle, and hike to the top of Arthur’s Seat (mountain in the middle of the city). -if you were able to capture these places in a drawing I would be eternally grateful! Anyway Part II: Moshe and Sarah fall in love and make tons of friends together from all over the world. They play soccer in the meadows with their new friends, drink loads of lattes at a coffee shop named Söderburg, and then spend months writing dissertations together in Sarah’s living room where they share a desk next to a fireplace that’s beautiful but doesn’t work lol. They both graduate with honors and sadly have to part ways. Part III: Moshe gets a job as a consultant in San Francisco and Sarah gets a job working for a judge in Seattle. They still find time to talk every day. Moshe is always on the run while he is on the phone with Sarah and Sarah takes breaks in her car to receive the phone calls. They watch plays (like Hamilton) together over the phone and play online board games (Catan) with friends over FaceTime (Sarah's dog always visible on FaceTime). It’s difficult but they make it work and never miss a day on the phone. Hope that is descriptive enough! Thanks a bunch!

Customer Description:  1.) How I met him, I dashed outside in my blue/red lifeguard uniform. I had noticed this man a couple of times at the pool. He was 100% my type. My first words to him were, “Do you have a girlfriend?”. He said no and started walking closer to me from across the parking lot with a huge smile on his face. I do not remember most of the conversation because I was so red and nervous. I asked for his phone number and did not have my phone. He gave me his phone number. Our first date was beachcombing, we went hiking, kayaking, and it was history until. 2.) I broke up with him, but for a year and a half, all I could think about was him. I imagined he was sailing, smiling (he’s a sailor working on the Great Lakes). Little things reminded me of him. I sent him letters and stickers. We wrote and called not every day but every other month. I told him, “to have without holding”. I called him drunk, and he was always so kind. Every time we talked it was like nothing had changed it was Drew and me again. It was like no matter the distance my heart kept space for him. I kind of imagine this card showing how the distance we still keep in contact. I’m in Alaska and he is either in Utah or on a boat. We talk every day now that we are back together but yeah. 3.) I went skiing for the first time with him, he’s a pro I am not. We are always hiking or planning the next adventure. He has traveled all over the world and I can’t wait to travel it some more with him.

Customer Description:  My name is Sameedha (24, India) and my boyfriend's name is Aniruddha (24, USA). We have been in a long distance relationship for about 2.5 years now. We both started dating because of music! He plays the guitar and I sing. He used to also have a dog called June who also starred in our youtube videos. Since this is a 3 part story, I'll narrate 3 instances along with wonderful memories. 1) our best memory was when we took a trip to a hill station and stayed at Zostel, Panchgani (attaching images ). We just snuggled together in our room's balcony under the stars and shared the best kiss ever. We did record the most beautiful music video out there as well. 2) the second-best memory was new year's 2019. We woke up really early and went to the beach and sat listening to the waves while I laid my head on his shoulder and held his arm. At that moment, I knew, he is the one. Exactly a few months ago before this, we sat on the very same beach and decided to give us and long distance a shot. 2.5 years later and many virtual dates later, here we are. 3) this is my secret favorite memory of him. This happened way before we started dating. We were recording a song at his place along with June ( the dog) and I had a secret strong crush on him. I liked him there and then. He felt like home. Everything felt right at that moment. Note: This is a valentine's gift. I have attached a few images of the places i have mentioned as well.

Customer Description:  I want to do something special for my boyfriend, Will for Valentine’s day. We’re currently doing long distance because I live in Michigan for medical school and he lives in LA. Will’s passion is writing, comedy, and animation. He moved to LA from New York to follow his dreams and create a show. He wrote a cartoon for kids that he is currently pitching to animation studios. He loves slapstick, absurd comedy (similar to the style of humor in the show, Arrested Development). He is wonderfully romantic and spoils me all the time with surprise gifts and flowers. I would like for the story to be told in cartoon panels that depict Will working from home but aren’t super satisfied with his day job. He easily gets distracted with his love of music, specifically his expansive CD (yes, he is still using old school CDs) and vinyl record collection. Some of his favorite artists are The Grateful Dead, Frank Sinatra, and the Beatles. While he's been stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, he cooks a lot of chilies (this is an inside joke, it's one of his only/favorite dishes that he makes), and daydreams about making his cartoon and it being a popular TV show (the title of the show is Notorious King of Spain—it would be amazing if you could incorporate the name somewhere into the illustration, maybe on a TV screen?). He also daydreams about a day when we are able to live together and not have to do long distance anymore.

Customer Description:  This is an anniversary gift for my husband, we got engaged 2 years ago and most of our relationship was a long distance one until we finally got married last November on the 15th, after 15 beautiful days of marriage, he had to travel back to Australia for work while I am stuck in Egypt due to corona travel restrictions. We have no idea when we’ll be united again but we live on the hope that this would be soon.We video call daily and cant wait to hug again. He fancies aviation, cars, cats, nature.

Customer Description:  Ariunzul and I met 4 years ago in Mongolia, I work as a professional horse trekking guide and she was a journalist. We met at a friend's goodbye party and sang karaoke all night long! Over the past 4 years, we have gone on many adventures. Month-long horse treks in the Taiga portion of Mongolia, exploring Beijing, and even a cross-country trip in the US. Last year Ari got her master's in Philadelphia at Temple University. Because of covid, her degree was finished online but she quickly got a job for the United Nations in Mongolia. She went back to Mongolia in June 2020 and I spent the fall guiding horseback hunting trips in Wyoming. We live a life of adventure but Covid has really messed up our plans for living together and eventually getting married. We haven't seen each other since June and there seems to be no end in sight. I want something for us the reminds us of all the crazy adventures and makes this lame covid time apart one that is memorable. Thanks!

Customer Description:  This story is for my girlfriend who is temporarily living in New York City for her summer advertising internship. She has worked so hard and I am really proud of her. 

Customer Description:  I'd love for you to do the story of how I chose my career. A long time ago there was a day that had three distinct memories that Id like to have one on each card, please. The first was a story shared by a client in a focus group. He was HIV and HepC positive. He said he was so careful for years about not sharing needles. One day he was shooting up in the bathroom. He kept his and his friend's need separate. He accidentally grabbed his friends. The second he used it when it was in his skin, he knew. He saw him on the toilet still. Second memory: As we were walking out of the clinic in a rough neighborhood in NYC, surrounded by our clients, all considered addicts, my supervisor looked at me with her cup of coffee and smiled. She said "they have their addictions and I have mine" and slightly raised her glass. We smiled so big. The third moment happened on the train back to Albany, NY. We took it 1-2 times a week to see our clients. Anyway, I sat next to my supervisor for the 2.5-hour ride back. About 3/4 of the ride back, taking her eyes briefly away from the window, but not on me, she said "still thinking about that guy". I knew exactly who she meant. I just said "yes." The rest of the ride was silent. All 2.5 hours. I never forgot that day and finally, after about 15 years, have gone back to school. My original doctorate in health behavior but I can't see clients. I'm finally going to see clients. I wondered if each card could be each of the three events of that day. TY!

Customer Description:  My name is Brandy(female). I met Janet(female) at the school where we were both teachings. We started dating on January 24, 2016. We got engaged on July 1, 2020, on the beach during vacation. We will be celebrating 5 years together on January 24, 2021. We have been through so many things together, and she is truly my soulmate. I can’t wait to get married and make a lifetime of memories with her.

Customer Description:  My name is Daniel, and my girlfriend's name is Rebecca. We started dating back in March 2019 in my last year and a half of college at UW-Madison. Rebecca was an international student and because of Covid, she's been studying back home in Taiwan. I miss her very much. This past summer, Rebecca and I drove 5 hours from Wisconsin to Minnesota to get our cat, Kai. He is almost one year now and has grown a lot since the first picture I included was taken. Rebecca had to leave while Kai was still a kitten and she left him a pink blanket with white polka dots. To this day, Kai still likes to sleep where ever that pink blanket is. If it falls on the ground, he sleeps on the ground. As long as he's sleeping on that blanket. I would like an anime-style illustration with Rebecca, Kai, and me! I have a short idea of how I'd like the three illustrations to pan out. Pt.1: Rebecca and I driving back to Wisconsin with kitten-sized Kai in the car. Pt. 2: Kai and I saying bye to Rebecca before leaves to take her flight to Taiwan Pt. 3: Kai (no longer kitten size) dreaming in his sleep of the three of us all reuniting on top of his pink blanket with white polka dots.

Customer Description: My name is Amber, and my boyfriend's name is Sean. We met in Cambodia when he fostered a dog from the clinic I was working at. We stayed friend's for a couple years, and both returned to the U.S. throughout that time. He also ended up adopting the dog he was fostering in Cambodia (her name is Mama) and brought her to New York. Throughout our friendship I realized that I cared for him as more than a friend, and finally told him how I felt. He felt the same way, and we fell in love over the last 8 months. I flew out to NYC to see him multiple times, and I am now living in Thailand. We will both be moving back to Cambodia at the end of 2021 to take things back to where they started, and start a life together.

Customer Description:  My name is Alex and my boyfriend's name is Adam. We met in high school and became best friends for years. Adam then moved away to Colorado for 6 years. He came back home to Missouri a few years ago and we reconnected and realized we've been in love with each other since we met. One of the lyrics to our song is "So if we knew all along, why did it take so long? We've known it since we were young, so why did it take so long?" That might be nice to have in the story. Adam recently has gotten sick and has to be away from me for a while. I would like the story to show Adam getting better and coming back home. The 2 of us better than ever and living happily ever after. I really want to show all parts of this story if possible. I would love to give him some hope while he is away. I also want to request Paul Gruber as the artist for my story. Thank you so much!

Customer Description: Kyle and Tasha first met after he moved to San Diego to work as the sous chef at the restaurant Tasha managed at. Tasha became Kyles first true friend among a city of strangers. She showed him everything SoCal and SD had to offer while living there. He was beyond grateful for those early days of friendship. Some how completely unwarranted, during their time spent together exploring the city, Tasha transformed from Kyle’s very first true friend, to his very first true love! Unfortunately during this time period, Tasha was already involved in a not so great relationship with someone else.

With Kyle being a Gemini/Taurus cusp, he was VERY persistent in acquiring his true love. Until one day she moved to LA to open a restaurant. Kyle was devastated when she left him here. A couple weeks later Tasha showed up unannounced at his door one night to profess her love for him. Life couldn’t Possibly be better, but 6 months later Julien was born & a year later Jake arrived. Now, 1yr after Jake, Kyle wants to fortify their family union officially & 4ever by proposing to Tasha.

Customer Description: Continuation of Story 1062 by Annie Phan... I want this trilogy to focus on family and unity. Please capture the proposal in part 1. I’ve attached a collage of photos from that day for reference. The proposal took place at Piedmont Park in Atlanta, GA . It was extremely hot that day, so I waited closer to sunset to plan the proposal. It was a fun and emotional event. The only downside was that her dad had a flight delay and was unable to attend the event. Please draw him into the proposal next to her mom. I would like for Part 2 to focus on the barn wedding. I imagine her in a princess ball gown and myself in a navy blue linen suit. The 2 bridesmaids (her sister and sister-in-law) are wearing light green dresses and the groomsmen are wearing blue linen suits. I would like Part 3 to focus on a homecoming from a Navy deployment with 2 kids, wife and big dog. Age me up a bit to appear more mature and season, please don’t make my wife look older. Also, the last pic is reference for what I would wear for deployment homecoming. ** I love your art style - feel free to take all the creative liberties that you want! I’m excited to see what you create for this trilogy.

Customer Description: Hi -- I'd like to do 3 more Charles the Rat stories to add to the ones you already did for my parents. My dad recently has been in the hospital 2 times and rehab 3 times. It's been a trying time for him. Wanted to lighten things up with some humor. I was thinking it would be fun to show Charles the Rat in a hospital gown with his butt showing saying Get Better Soon!. And Charles the Rat causing problems with a nurse/physical therapist at rehab with my dad. And another of Charles and my dad (and mom too maybe) bringing my dad some matzo ball soup or something. At home my dad is in his brown leather Laz-e-boy chair almost all the time with a white blanket over him. Maybe Charles could be causing trouble while my dad is in his chair and my mom trying to take care of my dad? I know you'll come up with something great! Thanks! a lot.

Customer Description: I met Sean at my cousins 40th birthday trip to Colorado. At first, I was not interested but he wore me down as the weekend went on. The first picture is me (Kori) and Sean at the bottom of the mountain. I would like the picture of Sean and I to be at the Denver airport hugging or standing close with him saying "Don’t be a vacation friend" and me kind of with a face like whatever. When I touched down there was a text saying did you land.... are you free to talk? We talked every day for hours and both of our feelings have grown and evolved over the past few months. He flew me to Vegas for a 24-hour date. That is where I asked him to be my boyfriend while sitting at the casino playing slots and having a huge frozen drink from fat Tuesdays. I would like the second picture to describe that scene and him saying yes. We are now officially dating long distance as I live in NYC, and he lives in Texas. but we have FaceTime dinner dates and make the best of it, that is what I want the third story to depict us as a couple on FaceTime eating and enjoying each other’s company. With these words at the bottom "These dates with you are worth the distance". We can be holding the phones and eating.

Customer Description: This is a story about my niece, Alicia, and her awesome husband, Dustin, who I would like to thank for their hospitality. On a very hot day in July, I flew to Maryland to spend the night at Alicia's. I don't know where Dustin hides his cape but he is truly a superhero in the way that it is all about his family. Everything he does, he does for them. Angels have sprinkled Alicia with a golden, sparkling powder - like pixie dust she glows with light and love. She is an extremely intelligent and generous person. Oh, I also got to spend some time with her daughter, Wit, and her son, Atlas, as well. The kids are really smart and have a lot of energy. They are just so cool! I felt warmed to see my nephew, Darnell. He seems to have an old soul and has demonstrated an abundance of strength for his age. I met the new puppies, Otis and Mona as well. They are silly as most puppies are, and striking in appearance, each in their own way. The family shared dinners and breakfast, watched TV, swam, talked, and drank together. Although the time was short, we got to reconnect and learn more about each other, and most importantly - to make memories, until we get to hang out again.

Customer Description: Hello, I’m Sofi, I’m from Mexico City and this is a first anniversary gift for my boyfriend, we are doing long distance. His name is Ignacio he is from Argentina, but at the moment he is living at Spain. Although we went to the same high school, I met Ignacio at Mexico City almost one year ago (while he was still living in here). We started chatting because he answered me an Instagram story in which I was watching the Venom movie. This movie is special for us, therefore, I want a design theme like a comic book in which we are watching trough face time the “Venom” movie (me in Mexico and he in Spain) but suddenly get involved into the movie, where we can finally reunite (because of the emotion we don’t realize we are inside a movie, we are just happy to see each other). I would love it to end with the both of us meeting venom and asking him “venom??”. I want his drawing to wear a gray sweater with a sandwich in the upper right corner. If you have time, I would also love you to draw me eating a sandwich and him eating a pizza while we see the movie. We love to travel, so it would be nice to decorate the background or scenario with travel references.

Customer Description: Hi there! My fiancé, Devyn, and I got engaged this summer! We had done long distance for two years while I was in Southern California and she was in Cincinnati (both finishing grad school). At the end of June this year, Devyn flew out to Cali to join me on the road trip back home to the Midwest. We traveled through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, etc. Notable stops were at the Grand Canyon, some scenic, small towns in New Mexico, a beautiful restaurant overlooking OKC, etc. Once we were back home in Cincy, OH, we went on a date to a movie theater (we *love* seeing movies!). Secretly, I had rented out the theater privately and invited all of our close family and friends. When the "previews" started for the movie, a proposal trailer that I had made started playing instead! Afterward, I popped the question and all of our friends and family rushed in from the wings of the theater to celebrate and congratulate us. I would love some hand drawn art to commemorate this special moment in our lives! Any combination/depiction of our road trip + a rendition of the proposal itself would be amazing! I attached a few photos of Devyn and I celebrating in the theater for reference.

Customer Description: Once upon a time there were two childhood best friends, Dave and Wes. They used to do hood rat things together, hardly ever any white woman activities. They grew up and went their separate ways to college but stayed in touch, often partaking in crazy late night activities. Wes started dating Molly, and then Wes and Molly moved in together. Dave basically lived with them too. Then Dave moved to Portland, and Molly and Wes moved to Utah. Dave brought a girl named Meg to their house in a blizzard before thanksgiving. Molly and wes were also immediately in love with meg. The four of them became best friends. They all went to Mexico to do some deep sea fishing, but instead Meg became a boat captain. They hiked the Inca trail together, or actually wes and Dave ran ahead, and Molly and Meg tried to keep up. They hung out in Portland - who knew the best steaks in town are at a strip club? On that same trip, Wes bossed everyone around until they all went to the beach in the rain and Dave proposed to Meg. They had a beautiful Maine wedding with Wes and preggo molly in the wedding party. Best friends forever!

Customer Description: This is for my girlfriend, we are currently doing long distance while I'm at college and I wanted to surprise her with something special. What I envisioned was something kind of like this: Card 1: It is the two of us walking down the street, we are just casually talking and then I (the guy) ask if she has been asked if we are dating. She responds with yes and we talk a little about it and I ask "would you like to be?" Card 2: At the top it says something like 6 months later or something. We are standing outside my car (I drive an orange jeep wrangler) at night after a date, and I say "I think I'm in love with you, you don't have to say it back..." and she cuts me off, responds by hugging me, and says "No I love you too." Card 3: Something like 2 years later at the top and then some incorporation of the attached image. Then maybe in like a separate panel or something (Ultimately whatever you feel would be best) of both of us talking over facetime and then in the bottom corner something like "to be continued..." Ultimately you are the artist so do whatever would work best for you but that basic foundation would be great. Thank you very much, I can't wait to see how it turns out!

Customer Description: Names: Fernanda and Sean Occupation: Software Engineer, Electrician From: Brazil, United States In 2019 I had to do many travels to US. I downloaded a date app to hang out and Sean appeared and after a long talk he invited me to have lunch and play mini golf. Was my first time playing. He likes play golf but was me that did "hole in one" LOL. We visited many places in 2019, like Hersheys Park, Rocky Statue in Philly and in January of 2020 I was in Texas and we visited NASA. We didnt knew that COVID-19 would hit the world like it did and before that he planned to visit me in Brazil in March. Terribly in the week he would travel the general lockdown happened. We didnt see each other until November when I did quarentine (to go to US) in Mexico and he met me there. I had the opportunity meet his family and enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas with them. I loved them and they loved me. I depparted after New Year and I cryed like a baby. Since that we havent see each other. He is the most kind person and have the biggest heart (he got that from his grandma). Breaks my heart to be away from him. I wish this card can be special for his birthday(32y).

Customer Description: This is an anniversary gift for my boyfriend max. We met over the summer, I teach tennis at the country club that he belongs to. If you could do something relating to that - us waving to each other on the courts and then finally having our first conversation about where we go to school and where we live. He was just finishing his sophomore year at wake forest and I was still a senior in high school.

Customer Description: Well it was definitely a whirlwind romance. We hit hard and fast. A first date that started at a burger joint and quickly ascended to constant late night Chinese food and adventures on the town. In the pictures shown, one of our first dates was to a cooking class. We made coq au vin in a group class, sipping on red wine, while struggling to dive shallots. In the third picture, it was our first real trip out of town. Valentine’s Day in Savannah, GA. We went to an improv comedy club, danced on a rooftop nightclub, and sipped espresso martinis. The next picture is right before I had to move to Hawaii for work. We had a beautiful dinner downtown, went for a walk by the river to digest and started dancing to our song “Lean On Me” by Sandro Cavazza under the lights.

Customer Description: I’m Gilles, she’s Charlotte. We met in our apartment building in Mechelen around July 2020. She lived in the apartment under me. Our first connection was through a shared love for DnB music. We grew towards each other over the year by hanging out, dancing, cooking in my apartment since we couldn’t get out because of Covid. Summer arrived 2021, finally freedom. For the first time we got to know each other outside of the building. We had the best romantic weekend in a little house in a place called Maransart. We went on holiday to Croatia (Split) and to an electronic music festival, we had a blast! A couple of weeks later Charlotte somehow got pregnant. Presumably this happened in Croatia. This totally shook our world. This wasn’t planned and we we’re not going to keep it. We had an abortion. We gave it a name, Gastonnie. This brought us even closer together and strengthened our bond and overall relationship. This were very emotional times. End of September she left for a 6 months working experience to an island called Bonaire working as a nurse. I’m still at home, in Belgium. We miss each other like crazy, but I will be visiting her very soon to celebrate Christmas with her.

Customer Description: Hi my name is Mike and my girlfriend’s name is Briana. I was hoping you could put into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle story. I wanted me and her to take the spots of Casey and April and us and the turtles go off to fight the Shredder.

Customer Description: My name is Dee and my girlfriends name is Bibis. Me and Bibis met at work (hospital). She is an x ray tech and I'm a speech therapist. Through co workers we found out we were both single and interested. I would always pass Bibis by while she was sitting at a desk behind a glass window waiting for patients to check into xray (wondering if this could be the first drawling). I eventually asked her out, on the second date I tried to kiss her while sitting in my car , she kinda froze up and had a shocked look on her face (this could be the second drawling). We eventually fell in love however now she working in New York for a travel job for a couple months while I'm still in Arkansas (wondering if the 3rd drawling could be mash up of us thinking of each other in different places) and heres a few photo of us see u can see what we look like. That's my nephew by the way.

Customer Description: My name is Johnathan (w/glasses) and my boyfriends' name is Thomas. He lives in Australia and I live in the US. We met on a cruise 3 years ago at a costume-themed party and stayed in touch. At the beginning of 2020, I went and lived with him in Sydney for a month. It was an amazing time to travel around Australia. The pandemic forced me to return to the US, but we remained connected throughout the pandemic. Finally, after being able to leave Australia, he came to visit me for Xmas/NYE 2021. We had a magical time going to parties and dinners. He plans to come back and visit in June for my 30th.

Customer Description: Ryan and I met at a Notre Dame football game in 2014 as freshman in college. We got engaged at the inner harbor in Baltimore in 2019. Then we got married on July 11th so we stopped at a 7/11 to get slurpees.

Customer Description: I met Maru whilst traveling South-East Asia earlier. We didn't get to spend so much time together back then, but we've stayed in contact ever since. I'd be very happy if you could do three drawings of us being together doing some of the things her and I constantly talk about and are excited to experience together in the future. One of them is visiting Coron in the Philippines. It's a beautiful island with a lot of sharp rock formations and very clear water. Another place we're excited to see together is the snowy mountains of Norway during wintertime. We want to see the aurora borealis. Could you make another one of us holding each other or kissing underneath the northern lights? The third picture I'd like to show her doing the things that she loves. She loves to write poems, read books and to paint. Perhaps you could make a drawing of us out on the meadows with all those things in them? I could be playing the guitar, but I'd like the focus to be on all the things that she loves. It'd be great if you could get her all these three drawings as a single delivery so she haves them all at the same time for her birthday. Thank you so much for helping me to make her happy :)

Customer Description: I met my girlfriend in Taoyuan, Taiwan. We were co-teachers at an English school. We spent a year together in Taiwan. We would ride my motorcycle around to different places (MOCA Taipei, National Taichung Theater), we got a fish pedicure, we ate a lot of hot pot. After that, I had to leave Taiwan and we've been in a long distance relationship since then. We like to sleep on the phone together, play Valorant (she plays Sage, I play Sova), and watch movies/TV shows together (we've been watching a lot of 90 Day Fiance lately (the season with Big Ed)).

Customer Description: This is a birthday present for my girlfriend, Hayley. On one of our dates, I took her to a light show at night at the New York Botanical Garden, and despite the rain and cold in the winter simply being together with her was a dream. Hayley and I walked arm in arm and all of a sudden, she jumped out from under the umbrella we were under right into the rain, spun like a ballerina and told me that she loved me. On our very first date, we met in Washington Square Park one summer in NYC to see an outdoor performance by the New York Philharmonic. We quickly realized that neither of us knew all that much about classical music, and joked that the next song they would play would be Flight of the Moths (rather than Flight of the Bumblebees). We left shortly after, walking around the city, picking up Artichoke Pizza, and finally chatting on a bench outside her apartment building for hours that night. Hayley is a huge fan of Mario Party; honestly, she is absolutely obsessed. She once literally dreamt of a fictional version of Mario Party called "Combo Combat" with custom dice and with us as the characters. Hayley also loves sushi, and her favorite flowers are lilies.

Customer Description: Hi Amanda, there is no occasion, just want to send my bf something special. your drawings are gorgeous, and I think it will be exactly that. Card 1–We had been to our work Christmas party and went back to his. He left his keys at work and could only get into house through bedroom window. He had removed the fly screen and put it on front lawn. There was a dog at the window barking and Cam said ‘Stop Rocco! It’s me Cam’. As he opened window and began to climb through, lady appeared not impressed at all. This was not his bedroom, nor his house. I was lying on the lawn in absolute hysterics. *house with grass lawn in front of it, bedroom window was towards the right of house. Similar to added image, without trees and more of a longer house/window. Card 2- we are currently in a LDR, maybe something along the lines of us on other parts of the world or your take on this. I'm in Qatar and He's in Australia. also please incorporate company logo's and 2 clocks 7 hours apart. Card 3-4x4 car packed with ski and snowboard gear, us standing together next to car, snowy mountains and trees in background with Thredbo sign. Thanks so much in advance. If you need anything more from me,let me know

Customer Description: My name is Peter. And this story is for my sister Haden’s birthday. I would like all three mailers to arrive by next Friday if at all possible- like each hits her mailbox on Wednesday Thursday Friday, boom boom boom. Something sort of “turner classic movie” theme. Whatever that means. Haden, is a psychologist so maybe an intelligent character ahead of her time, dealing with a neighbor/relative who is totally ignorant of his underlying issues or psych theory?

Customer Description: Where have all the cowboys gone? I miss the gunslingers, the gentleman’s handshake, and the integrity from the good ole days.

Customer Description: I want to create a story about my husband David for Valentine's Day. He loves comic books and everything sci-fi and would love to star in his own comic where he's fighting bad guys next to our dog Bella, his loyal sidekick. Our son is due to be born in 3 weeks (his name will be Conor) so maybe he's a babydoting dad by day and a superhero by night.
