It’s no accident that these cards have a lot in common with the Miller Press art cards. They were produced by Allen Miller Jr. of Monarch Corona Printing. Like the original Millers, these cards have been given away as printing samples and donated to charity auctions – there is no “distribution network” – so they’re not easy to locate.
200 of each card were released in limited editions, with each card hand-signed by the artist.

————————————————-
The company continues to release new cards periodically, somewhat like Miller Press “Neverending Series”. Cards are produced using vintage lithographic techniques and presses, which gives them an authentic retro appearance.
