Borders Guards

I went to Starbucks sometime over the last week or so (several times, actually, but that's neither here nor there) and saw that they were offering custom gift cards. I'm always looking for a cool corporate gift idea, and thought this might be cool to take an image from Love and Capes, especially since tall the characters are heavy coffee drinkers, and plop them on a card. Unfortunately, Starbucks vision of customization is to choose from a finite number of elements.

I mentioned this to close friend Paul D. Storrie. Paul's written an issue of IDW's Star Trek Alien Worlds series featuring my favorite Trek aliens, the Andorians. You should go out and get it, right now. I mean it. Stop reading the blog, go to a comic shop and get it. Then come back. I won't go anywhere.

Welcome back! So I mentioned to the aforementioned PDS that it'd be cool to be able to place your own image or photo on a gift card. Then, lo and behold, he found out that Borders was doing that very thing! I've now designed my first Love and Capes gift card, to be given to some of my corporate clients.

I also figured "Why keep this to myself?" So, I'm making the image available for download here. You can place this image on the Borders card site and send them out to your friends. (It's sized for the gift card, not the greeting card, by the way.)

Abby, everyone's favorite bookstore owner, would be very happy with this.
