Hello, everybody. Welcome to Three Point Perspective, the podcast about illustration, how to do it,

0:08.9

how to make a living at it, how to make an impact in the world with your art. I'm Jake Parker.

0:12.6

I'm Lee White. And Will Terry could not join us today. He is on assignment. However, we have

0:18.6

Karen Shipper in the house, and we are learning all about greeting

0:23.3

cards, how to do wholesale, how she went from being a graphic designer to being an art director

0:32.2

to being a full-time greeting card, like running her own business selling greeting cards. This is a great

0:39.6

episode. She actually reached out to us saying, hey, I've got, you know, something I'd really like

1:52.7

And so she sort of AI proofed herself, essentially, which I think is fascinating.

2:00.2

You're going to learn a few things from this interview.

2:02.4

Like she tells you how she like set up her wholesale business and sort of the mechanics of it.

2:09.5

But one of the big takeaways I got from it was if she didn't know how to do something,
