    Custom QSL Designs

    BTW, I sell custom QSL art, among other ham graphics.

    Custom clients receive a QSL printer-ready high-resolution digital file for the front side of their card – including call, handle and simple QTH, plus a web-res file for QRL and social media. Most QSL printers offer highly-customizable templates for the card back side, the place for report form, mailing address, awards, rigs and other personal details. While I have no business arrangements with QSL printers, I can recommend a couple with whom my clients have had good results.

    Read my eHam reviews.

    For a look at my portfolio and more about how I work, drop by my web page.

    Here's a few of my designs:

    Thanks much OM! They're largely my clients' as much as my own, lotta bouncing ideas back and forth. The Texas ham for example, wanted a western radio scene and gave me a vintage QSL as a starting point. When I learned that Mitch had a ranch and a horse, I came up with a quick sketch and asked if he could pose with his horse and radio for a photo. Mitch gamely did so and working from the snapshot, I drew it watercolor sketch style in Photoshop, inspired by the illustrated letters of a long time favorite of mine, Western artist Charles M. Russell. The font on the card is very similar to that of Russell's classic letterhead. Tying the antenna to the saddle horn occurred to me, one of those bits of serendipity that bubble up in the process. What's neat is that Mitch's horse Peppy is a real old pal, combined with his newer pal, his trusty KX-3, so his card is a fun keepsake of their times together.
