My new flashy self made business cards

I sat down yesterday and made some new flashy business cards to hand out at open mics.  I think I will also just keep them in my pocket to hand out to people I meet wherever and whenever.  I've been meaning to make some new cards for a while since all the old ones I had were just plain text and that was it.  I tossed those now that I have the new super nifty ones.  Eventually I want to get some pro glossy ones made up that are full color.  But for now these are pretty snazzy.

For these I used my laser-jet printer to print them out so they are all just plain black and white since I don't have one of those crazy ritzy color printers.  But it definitely works just in black and white.  I made the background by using an image I drew 3 or 4 years ago and scanned in.  I think I was going to use the guitar for another creative project but never did.  Or maybe it was the original background of my myspace page back in the day.  Either way I decided to re-use that old drawing and then shrink it down and crop it to fit on a card.  I then just used a funky fun font to make the website URL.

The idea of the cards is the following: people can just go to my site which will load up my songs on my Facebook page.  Then the songs will automatically start playing through reverb nation.  If they want they can "like" the page and will then receive updates I post to their Facebook newsfeed.  Each of the songs in the playlist has a link to that song on iTunes to buy.  So if they like the song they can then help support continued music creativeness by purchasing the song on iTunes!

That's the plan at least.

Well, I should probably show a picture of the business card right?  OK, here's what I came up with....
