Baby Birthday eCard

We have added a new birthday card to our collection titled "Babycakes". It celebrates the birthday "child" in all of us who delight at some cake, a sprinkle of nature's magic and a party in our honor! Also great for birth announcements and congratulating new parents on the birth of their baby.

New Ojolie August eCard - Sweet Peas

We have added a new card to our collection titled "Sweet Peas" which is suitable for a wide range of occasions.

The card was conceived during a lazy afternoon on my vacation in Denmark this summer. The abundant and colorful display of sweet peas in my grandmother's garden provided endless subjects for my watercolor practice using a new technique.

Even though the sweet pea season is ending, early autumn is in fact the best time to prepare your seeds for next summer's blooms. So send this card to extend the days of summer a little bit more or as a little reminder to all your friends who love flowers to plant their sweet pea seeds now.

The card includes instructions for planting your own seeds and a little bit of information about the painting technique I used to paint the flowers. Both can be viewed at the end of the card by clicking on the buttons called "Plant Sweet Peas" and "About the Art Work".

New July 4th eCard

In celebration of US Independence Day we have added a new card set to Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever" and inspired by the wonders of flight. This festive card is also well suited for other US national holidays, such as Veterans and Memorial Day.

We are currently hard at work on several other cards for general occasions, as well as a birthday card adaptation to this card featuring the biplanes in action.

New Father's Day 2008 eCard

This coming Sunday, June 15th is celebrated as Father's Day across more than fifty countries worldwide, and this year it has been 100 years since Father's Day was first celebrated in the US.

We have of course been hard at work on the latest addition to the site for this occasion, featuring once again "Woody" - you may remember him from the card titled "Best Friends". I wanted to capture the contributions Father's make in our lives while keeping the card lighthearted, a little bit clever and most importantly something sons, daughters and just about anyone would want to send to their own father - and all the other great fathers they know.

Good Time


Happy Father's Day!

New eCard for Mother's Day

Just in time for Mother's Day, we have added another card to our selection called "Under the Moon".

The card features moon bear cubs "Bingo" & "Happy", born in captivity at Taiwan's Low Altitude Research Station where their mother was brought after being found injured in the wild. My friends at the Station asked if I could animate the cubs based on the footage they had made since the birth of the cubs; this card is the result of this collaboration.

It is difficult to convey the breathtaking beauty of the forest and mountains where these bears live, so I had to challenge myself artistically to create an inspired backdrop. Let me know what you think!
