About me

Hi, I’m CJ.

I run SolarGrove Prints from one desk. Every postcard you see here was chosen, printed, cut and packed by me.

How I make the art

I paint with AI tools that run on my own computer at home. I describe a scene, look through the results, and throw most of them away. The ones I keep get cleaned up, and I add the lettering myself. It is how I get the pictures in my head onto paper.

How a postcard gets made

  1. An ideaA birthday coming up, a season, something I saw on a walk.
  2. The picturePainted on my own computer, then picked over until one feels right.
  3. The wordsI letter each wording myself, one version at a time.
  4. Paper and postPrinted on textured stock, cut, packed, and mailed.
