It's Not Just Hearts & Flowers, You Know




I made these cards for a couple of new friends, connected by our love of comics & superheroes & villains.

One has a big thing for the Scarecrow. He pretty much creeped me out, while I was drawing him. I guess that's a good sign, yes?



I was going for really cheesy, school Valentine greetings. You know, corny.




The other, like me, is a big Batman fan. Problem is, he's not exactly the first guy you'd think of when Valentine's comes around!




But it proves a point: you don't always have to say it with flowers.







We're cranking up the flavor for this month's Blog Party; it's time to Spice it Up!

Hope to see you there.
