    Let me tell you this as a graphic artist:

    If it takes Zach an hour to do one of these new custom cards(which might or might not be the case, this is just for an example) and you "buy" them from him at $20, you are getting an amazing deal and you don't even realize it.

    I'm a graphic artist currently and for the field I'm in, we charge $90/hr, and we're one of the cheapest places out there!

    So, here you're getting custom designed and printed card shipped to you for your machine for twenty measly bucks. That is such a great deal. Nevermind the fact that Zach isn't just throwing graphics onto a generic background, his stuff is really well done! Some of his stuff is a downright perfect fit for the apron/theme, too.

    Quoted from zachster:

    By the way, many take way more than an hour - several hours usually. It would take much shorter if I knew exactly what I was doing to start, but the reality is that I just start with a blank file and get a bunch of ideas and start doing stuff in many directions at once. Eventually I whittle it down to the ones I like best - and even then, with some machines I wind up doing as many as 14 diff cards. It's a lot of trial and error before I get something I'm cool with.

    Ahhh, so you're normal?

    I figured you had this stuff down to a science and were cranking these things out pretty quick by now. I, too, take a while to get my ideas together for a set, then throw it all on one page and see what sticks. Then I'll print them out and look at them and see if they "work". I usually only start with a general theme idea I want(typically one that hasn't been done before), and go from there. I'm doing some for TAF, currently. I'll post them here when I'm done.
