Moondragon Cards

Hello all :)

We're incredibly pleased to announce we've resumed shipping to the United States and Canada :)

If you've been following us for a while, you may remember we had to stop last year due to a very large and unexpected insurance hike to ship to those locations, even though we've never claimed. We've now found an affordable insurer - yay!

Can you remember when I was painting this picture?
I had a huge crisis of confidence half way through.
I had wanted the gold to be behind all of the picture but then I just loved how it looked half way across.

Well, that's how it stayed. And my favourite bit about painting this picture was the leaves. Playing around with all those autumnal colours.

I'm off to Lyme Regis to drop off some pictures in a minute and then mum and I are nipping to the beach with little Bella at Charmouth. Despite the cold last night, now the sun is out it's lovely and warm with a blue sky. Perfect.

I work such stupid hours that stealing these little moments become more important than ever. Have a lovely day and I'll catch up tomorrow, hopefully full to the brim with donkey love, sea air and many Bella cuddles too.

Hello all :)

No new gifts this week, just these gorgeous new cards by Chris Down and Naomi Cornock :) We hope you love them as much as we do!

Everyone seems to love Naomi Cornock's beautiful giftware so we've added some more! There are now four Wheel of the Year designs, and four from her Healing range.

Available on coasters, hanging ornaments, bookmarks, storage tins, mugs, keyrings, pocket mirrors, fridge magnets and tote bags. They're made to order in our studio, so will take a few extra days to dispatch.

We're very pleased to add Josephine Wall's beautiful, colourful fantasy art to our gift range. You can now treat someone (or yourself!) to her art on hanging ornaments, bookmarks, storage tins, coasters, keyrings, pocket mirrors, fridge magnets and tote bags.

See her entire range on our website :)

Note that they're all made to order in our studio, so may take a few extra days to ship.

These beautiful new cards from the talented Amanda Clark have just arrived. We love her work (as do many of our customers) so we're pleased to add a new selection for your temptation :)

This week, an eclectic mix of arty gifts from Chris Down. Some recent, some from years ago, but all beautiful. Bubbles, the giggling elf, makes us smile every time we see her! Or do you prefer the moody and very purple Heidi :)

If you loved the cards by Vikki we added earlier this year, you might like to treat yourself to a print👇

Now that Meta has made it clear they will be feeding anything we share here in to training their AI systems, a mass exodus of human artists is happening, as we all move our work over to Cara. This new platform has grown from 40k to 650k users in one week.

The founder Jingna Zhang is part of a class action lawsuit against AI companies, so the whole place is refreshingly AI free too. I hadn't realised until being in this new AI free zone, how degrading it feels to be regularly exposed to AI as we all are here.

It's great to feel the strength of the community of real human artists. It's still a very small back end set up though, so unfortunately no n**e art is possible - yet.

Interestingly, I worked collaboratively with Jingna for my Hekate drawing. May the goddess bless and support this major shift and transition for artists. Come and find all the real magic at Cara 🖤🌙✨

ALSO
I recommend all artists start using Nightshade and Glaze to protect their works.

Glaze is a tool to counteract mimicry of your style. When AI prompts such as "in the style of X" are used, Glaze will corrupt the result making it different to the original artist's work.

Nightshade 'poisons' your image so that it messes up training data in ways that could cause serious damage to image-generating AI models.

Hello all! The weather is finally warming up here in the UK, so we thought it was time to show you these three beautiful summery cards by Jane Crowther :)

One final set of Naomi Cornock's beautiful gifts! Today: hares, hedgehogs, foxes and otters :)

The world of reality has its limits;
the world of imagination is boundless.
