Meet The Artists Jeanne Benas's professional art career began at age three, when she and her mother, a well-known cartoonist, drew together on live TV, in matching outfits. After graduating from Syracuse University, she worked as a fashion illustrator, ad agency artist, art director, and editorial and political cartoonist. Now, head of her own art studio, she has a wide range of clients and works in many styles. Her favorite is pen and ink cartoons with a splash of color. Her funniest are drawn to serious music on the radio. Jeanne lives with her husband and son and their dog, who she promises never to dress in matching outfits.

Beth Spotswood knew she wanted to be a fashion designer when she was in the third grade. Her algebra and history notebooks throughout high school were filled with sketches which have turned out to be rough drafts of the "Fashion Fanatics" illustrations. After graduating from Philadelphia University, Beth spent three years expanding her fashion skills as wardrobe mistress at Beach Blanket Babylon in San Francisco. She is currently associate producer and development director of the Mountain Play, a non-profit theater company which produces musicals atop Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County.

As a child, Beth Cope copied illustrations from her picture books and imitated the artwork of Toulouse-Lautrec and Modigliani. Soon, she was drawing people in every form imaginable; contemporary, realistic, abstract. Slowly, she discovered her own technique and style which she developed through art classes in high school and college. When Beth had children, she made art a significant part of their lives. She continued drawing - mostly in pencil, but all women with cute outfits. She's brightened them up with markers to make them perfect "Fashion Fanatics."

David Fulp, a cartoonist, has been working in the animation industry for years. He has also worked as a designer, animator, layout artist, and story artist on television shows and feature films. He hopes you enjoy this wonderful line of wacky cards.

For eight years many of the wittiest greetings on PaperTrail Press cards have come from the pen of Sandy Harrison. Now that pen bursts with color and leaps to the front of new cards. Sandy wanted us to use her illustrations of her two adorable cats. Fearing they were a little to cute for PaperTrail, we suggested something "edgier". Sandy responded with.....her husband. Hal's humor, sensuality, and appreciation for the finer things of life shine through in new Contemporary Caveman cards.
