Sappycards is a series of all-occasion, non-traditional, brutally honest, highly recycled, limited edition greeting cards, available at wholesale and consignment at various galleries, museums, boutiques, and fairs across the country and online. The Sappycards project is an ongoing investigation of the evolving conventions of a popular genre, an entrepreneurial foray into the “social expression” industry, and a practical, utilitarian attempt to put text to work in real-world social interactions. Since 2003, thousands of Sappycards have been exchanged, and thousands of real human relationships have changed, or not changed, as a result.
