The Artist’s Envelope: Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in The Artist’s Envelope?
Each monthly envelope includes one small-format collectible art print, a note from me about that month’s edition, and a small bonus surprise from the studio. The surprise may be something like a sticker, bookmark, printed fragment, fabric piece, mini print, or another small item connected to what I’m making.

What size are the monthly prints?
The monthly prints are small-format collectible art prints. Sizes and proportions may vary from month to month depending on the artwork. Some editions may be ACEO size (2.5 × 3.5 inches), while others may be square, horizontal, vertical, or another similarly small format.

What is an ACEO?
ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals. ACEOs measure 2.5 × 3.5 inches, the same size as a standard trading card. They’re a popular collectible format because they’re small, easy to display, and easy to build into a growing collection. They can be framed individually, grouped together, or stored in archival sleeves. Some monthly Artist’s Envelope editions may be ACEO size.

What is the Welcome Envelope?
New members receive a separate, one-time Welcome Envelope introducing the project and what to expect each month. It includes an ACEO art print and is mailed within 7–10 business days of joining. It does not replace your first monthly Artist’s Envelope.

When will my first monthly envelope arrive?
Join on or before the 15th of the month to receive the following month’s Artist’s Envelope. If you join after the 15th, your first monthly edition will begin the month after that.

Will every month look the same?
No. The artwork, print size, and bonus surprise may change from month to month, reflecting what I’m currently making and exploring in the studio. The consistent part is simple: one collectible art print, a note from me, and a small bonus surprise from the studio each month.

Is the artwork original?
Each monthly piece is a collectible print of my original artwork, rather than an original painting. Occasionally, the bonus surprise may include a small original piece, but that is not part of the standard monthly promise.
