a while back, on one of my entrepreneurial trips, i made and sold notecards. after making lots of Cute Cards designed with flowers and ladybugs, i designed a line for myself. i called it Sick Cards. above, is one of my favorites. it's nancy spungen as she was found dead from stab wounds supposedly inflicted upon her by her boyfriend sid vicious. i made it at work when i worked at the SF Weekly. my coworker, a nutty layout artist sitting next to me, leaned over, saw it and said, "you're deranged!" in a surprised and delighted voice. i took it as a compliment.
i'm not sure i'd sell many Dead Nancy Spungen Cards, but then again i never tried.
