Alaskan Malamute Card

£2.50 plus shipping

Product Code:  0655-A6AC





A greetings card created from one of my original dip pen and ink stippled dot pieces featuring the face of a Malamute with piercing blue eyes, seen in Alaska, USA. Blank inside for your own message. Inspired from what I see in my garden, on my field work, travels and from life experiences, I work only from photographs that I have taken or sketches that I have made in the field. Each art card is printed in the UK by an FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified printing company, with a zero waste to landfill ethos, using responsibly sourced FSC medium to heavyweight smooth board and supplied with an FSC heavyweight white or pearlescent paper envelope.

Ideal for: Anyone who loves Malamutes, huskies, wolves, dogs, pets, wildlife, animals, travel, Alaska, art.

The piercing blue eyes set against the contrasting colours of a Malamute’s fur stops me in my tracks every time. This fella was a domestic dog eyeing up our lunch in Talkeetna, a gold mining town close to the Denali National Park and Mt. McKinley, north of Anchorage, Alaska. I’ve drawn his face by making thousands of tiny stippled dots of ink with a vintage dip pen inherited from my mum, spacing them out or layering them up to create the depth and texture of the hairs and finally painting in his icy, sky blue eyes with acrylic ink; it was if his eyes mirrored his snow-capped mountain environment.

Each art card is printed in the UK by an FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified printing company, with a zero waste to landfill ethos, using responsibly sourced FSC medium to heavyweight smooth board and supplied with an FSC heavyweight paper envelope. Each art card is directly digitally printed (using XXXXX TYPE INKS), thereby avoiding the more traditional use of printing plates or photo chemicals. Since we usually exhibit at quite a few outdoor events, art cards you buy from us at events are wrapped in a protective plastic sleeve out of necessity to shield the card from damage by the elements. This sleeve is manufactured from thin, crystal clear polypropylene (PP5); a recyclable plastic. However, please check with your local authority to see if it is recyclable in your area. PP5 polypropylene is commonly recycled into the manufacture of automotive parts, plastic trays, shipping containers, bike racks, garden rakes, storage bins and many other common items. Cards ordered on this website may be supplied “naked” without each card being enclosed in an individual protective sleeve, but any art cards in an order will be packed in a polypropylene protective outer as a “pack” to avoid them getting marked or wet in transit in the typical British weather that we enjoy! This packaging will be kept to a minimum. Heavyweight envelopes are supplied with each card and are made from FSC paper. We usually use plain white or pearlescent white/cream envelopes. Art cards are shipped in a board backed envelope or postal box as appropriate and are not gift packaged.
