This page is a gateway to three distinct sites. Feel free to browse, or if you’re so inclined, send me a note to order as postcards: 1) Uncivil Times are free cards & images for those wanting to take a stand against the intentional cruelty & injustice we are facing today. Files for posters are also available for these cards. 2) Ruby Creek Press are mostly for browsing, but some can be postcards. The gallery features photos gathered in cross country moves & travels. 3) Venerable Vintage Press postcards feature art gleaned from the public domain. Click InkToPaperPress at the top of any page to get a full menu with subfolders. All InkToPaperPress postcards are commercially printed on sturdy 16-17 pt. matte paper. A few square cards are printed separately (a different commercial printer), on textured paper. The front of each card carries the image; the back displays the logo for the corresponding imprint. This is a print-on-demand operation. Many cards are in stock & can be sent right out, but some won’t be printed until ordered (2-3 week turnaround time). The cards travel well through the mail, but kraft envelopes are available upon request. The Uncivil Times cards are free, though available in limited numbers. The others are $1.00 each + $.25 per envelope & $ for postage, cost depending upon the number of cards ordered. Order via the contact button. Or just browse. Follow the Information link below for more information, and click on the three gallery covers above for card archives. Because the Uncivil Times & the Venerable Vintage Press cards feature public domain works, the gallery images are linked to image sources wherever possible. Click the Uncivil Times images or the Venerable Vintage Press captions to go to history & original renditions. NOTE: some of this site is still UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

INFORMATION/ABOUT

Why the postcard? It’s friendly & quick. The size & shape feels solid in your hands. And the postcard’s confined writing space inspires the most pithy, to-the-point messages, making it good for short notes & gift enclosures. And is an efficient way to share art & politics. You can whip out a card to re-read or send. It’s yours to keep at your bedside or in plain sight at your desk or table. And consider the postcard’s companions: pen, pencil, & eraser. They offer their own kind of pleasure. Simple & natural. There is a long beautiful, though sometimes tragic, history associated with paper missives. Maybe it’s just a cultural habit, but writing on paper &, most of all, on a page that is economical & unassuming (& carries good art), feels good. And waiting for the post office to deliver can inspire a bit of hope, excitement (or dread), & maybe a sense of mystery. Something material & out of the ordinary is on its way.
