Anis' Postcards and Posters
German (Mainz, March 2010) The city view drawings by the artist Anis Hamadeh have a unique style. They are offered as representative sets of postcards in a transparent cellophane cover and as A3 posters. All motifs are displayed on the cover sheet. So far the series Liverpool, Mainz, and Palestine are released, the Wiesbaden collection will follow in June. Anis Hamadeh uses shining Copic felt pens and he draws and paints his city views in A3 format (30 × 42 cm) on the basis of photos. "This turned out to be successful. People like the style and often tell me that they have not seen anything like that before. This encouraged me to continue and to start selling." The high-quality postcards are produced in cooperation with professional print shops.

Wiesbaden
The series of postcards with 12 Wiesbaden motifs can approximately be ordered in June 2010 on this website, see shop. On the page www.anis-online.de/2/artclub/wiesbadenpostkarten.htm all finished pictures are exhibited.

Mainz

Colorful Art Postcards
On demand, Anis Hamadeh also creates pictures of other cities. An interesting marketing idea not only for tourist offices and souvenir shops, but also for institutions and companies who want to connect their name to a specific city, or those who have enough photo motifs themselves.

The production of a 12-part series takes about three months. If they are not provided, the artists at first takes the photographs. The motifs are chosen together with the customer, followed by the production of the images and then the postcards.

The offer is such that the customer gets the initial cost reimbursed as soon as 800-1000 sets of postcards are sold. 2000 sets will be delivered, so that the customer can make a reasonable profit and still has a lot of material for promotional gifts and giveaways. Customers can have their logo printed on the flip-sides of the cards and on front of the cover card. When the 2000 sets are used up, they can order further editions on advantageous and exclusive terms. An exhibition of the originals, if wanted, is included in the offer. More possible services:

You can do that, too! (February 2010) It is not really difficult ... All you need is a photo of which you make a copy (color or black & white laser-copy), a piece of paper, four paper-clips, some pens, a light table (see Google pictures) and some patience. You can even improvise the light table, if you do not have one handy. For example with a laundry basket in which you place a lamp and on it a glass plate. You can even use a window pane: stick the photo on it and above it the empty paper. You see, it costs almost nothing. Then you draw the lines, that you see shining through, with a thin pen (recommended is a diameter of 0,05 mm) and now paint with your own colors. Look at the photos on the Liverpool page, there I show how it works. OK, finished? Now go to a copy shop, get your picture scanned and send the result to anis at anis-online.de. If it went quite well it will be displayed here on this website and you can even win up to three sets of Anis' postcards. Wow! Well, what are you waiting for ...
