A LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN
As mentioned on our home page, I employ a combination of cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art facilities to get these cards created each year. Feel free to peruse, but keep in mind that if you steal my company secrets, I will take legal action.

My temporary workshop in my Japanese apartment. I got to try fancy metallic ink for the first time. I also learned that it doesn't come off your hands easily.
MY FAVORITE CARD
MY FAVORITE CARD
One of my favorite card designs of that year. It took a while, but I finally was able to refine my stamping technique to get a clean print.
EXPERIMENTING

Some experimental variations. The gold ink wasn't as opaque as I was hoping, so I started outlining the stamps. Innovation at its finest.
READY TO MAIL

The cards from 2022, ready to be sent out. I sat in the post office for about 10 minutes putting stamps on all of them.
NEW YEAR'S IN JULY
NEW YEAR'S IN JULY
in an attempt to get ahead of the yearly project, I enlisted my friends Zack and Andrew to help brainstorm and take the photo for the card in July. We filmed a video documenting the "creative process," and I added NFC stickers to all the cards to link recipients to the video.

My brilliant solution to avoid burying myself. We took a shot of this and I composited it over the beach picture. This way, the lighting matched, and there was actual sand around my neck.
A POP OF COLOR

I went with colorful envelopes for this first year of cards. I definitely want to try and get creative with the envelopes again in the future. I just have to make sure they'll be accepted by USPS.

It was absolutely freezing on that beach. It turns out that being on the shore in the winter means the wind is crazy. Just goes to show my personal dedication to the members of Ray's Card Club.
