Toot, toot toot toooooooot! My business cards have arrived! That was my trumpet sound if you didn’t know. After 8 years of working professionally as an illustrator and concept artist I finally made some REAL business cards. Before I would just print some out on my own printer on those sheets that you punch out, so they were fairly ghetto to say the least. This time I heard about Moo from my buddy Noah Bradley. The first annual Spectrum Live event is coming up soon, so I figured I should go ahead and actually make some real business cards.
What is awesome about Moo is that you are allowed to use up to 50 different images on your business card without any additional fees, so it is great for an artist! The cards are double-sided and have rounded corners. The stock is pretty amazing, and I didn’t even get the most expensive stock either. I am extremely impressed with the quality. The cards also came inside these black boxes, which are great for carrying around your cards. I ended up getting 3 black boxes with my order. I actually wasn’t even expecting that. I dunno, maybe they mentioned it on their site and I overlooked it, but it was a nice surprise. The blue part on the box is removable if you just want a solid black box. Also for those that care, the paper is 100% recycled from post consumer waste, 100% recyclable, and the factory that makes the cards is completely powered by wind generators.
I must say, I am pretty excited to finally have some real business cards to hand out at shows. I always felt really stupid when people asked for business cards and I didn’t have any available. I remember at the Wizard World Con in Chicago after the first day I ran to Kinko’s in the hotel and printed some temporary cards and then cut them all out by hand, haha. That was pretty sad. Anyway, I will have a handful of these cards available for the Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix in Australia in a couple of weeks and also for the Spectrum Live event, so get them while you can!
