Endicott Studio Fairy Tale and Myth E-postcards.
Hey Surlaluners!
Due to the popularity of these fairy tale and myth e-postcards, endicott has decided to not only keep these cards available beyond the month of april...but we are working on some new designs. I will be happy to let you know as new cards come out. In the meantime, stop in and visit...send a card on us!

Thanks
Midori

Re: Endicott Studio celebrates National Poetry Month! ECards
Many of the poems and illustrations we'll be featuring this month relate to fairy tales (and the rest to myth), so we hope Surlalune readers will enjoy the cards...and use them!

Re: Endicott Studio celebrates National Poetry Month! ECards
We've got some lovely art planned for the forthcoming postcards -- by Alan Lee, Brian Froud, Tom Canty, and others -- in addition to the postcards already on-line with art by Virginia Lee, Kay Nielsen, Edmund Dulac, Adrienne Segur, etc.
The poetry comes from Jane Yolen, Neil Gaiman, Ellen Kushner, Jeseph Stanton and many more contemporary writers working with themes from fairy tales and myth.
Many thanks to everyone who has participated in the project -- either by contributing art or text, or by using the e-postcards.

Re: help
Jane,
It's possible that your computer has a cached version of the page--only opening up the page when you first saw it? First try refreshing the page...if that doesn't work go to the top of your screen, click on "Tools" go to "Internet Options" and either click on "clear cache" or "clear files" and that will clear out the old version of the site and allow you to pop up the new one.
If these don't work, definately email me!

Neil Gaiman fans
Ok Neil Gaiman fans...be the first to mail out a Neil Gaiman poetry postcard from the site. His card is April 17th (tax day no less.). And check out the artist Jeanie Tomanek. Her website is fabulous.

Brian Froud, Alan Lee, Charles Vess
If you haven't checked into the Endicott postcards recently, I recommend stopping by and checking out the new cards with art from Brian Froud (April 20) Alan Lee (April 21) and art from Charles Vess (April 23) with poem from Charles DeLint.
Thanks to everyone who has stopped by and sent off a card. We have been thinking of creating different postcards in the future. Are there particular artists/poems, additional themes you might like to see? (One idea I have been working on are Child Ballad postcards with comic book illustrations ala Vess's "Ballads and Sagas")
But it might be fun to get a wide range of world myth...a series of Kitsune postcards for instance.

Re: Brian Froud, Alan Lee, Charles Vess
I wouldn't mind seeing some native-themed cards there: coyote, deer-woman, spider, you know them well. :)

ballad cards
Midori, the ballad cards would be a wonderful idea. I am working on my new book, looking at reworkings of ballads in other formats (much as I did with the folktales) and cards such as these would be a blast since it is the Vess Book of Ballads that got me going on the topic.
If anyone wishes to send me ideas of titles of reworking of ballads, you can reach me at gail.devos@gmail.com I am also interested in additional reworkings of Tam Lin and Thomas the Rhymer since the publication of Tales Then and Now.
Yours in stories,
Gail

Re: ballad cards
Erzebet, your wish is our command. We posted a card with poetry by Native American poet Carolyn Dunn today.

Re: ballad cards
Erzebet, glad you like it! (Midori's been doing all the design work for the cards, and I think she'd doing a gorgeous job.)
There are two other cards that have a bit of a Native American flavor: #22 has a poem by Munro Sickafoose that was inspired by sweatlodge ceremonies, and #27 has a poem by Howard Gayton inspired by a Native American Church all-night tipi ceremony. But we'll try to do more that work more overtly with Native American myth and imagery in the future.
By the by, I love the work you've been doing with your Papaveria
Press -- which I hope all the fairy tale loves here know about.

Re: ballad cards
Oh, those are beautiful as well! I love what you are doing with these post cards.
And thanks for the compliment on the Press. The Tale of the Miller's Daughter should be available for sale at WisCon. JoSelle has told a wonderful Rumpelstiltskin tale, if I do say so myself. :)
