Hello everyone! Showcard Studio has some exciting news. We have all heard way too many times that there is nothing to do in Decatur. The real problem is that sometimes it can be difficult to find out exactly what is going on in this town, so we are creating a solution to this problem. THRIVE will be your monthly guide to entertainment, arts, culture and nightlife right here in Decatur IL. You

Our image of the week.A few years back when I visited England I got to see one of Dave Chihuly's first glass pieces installed in Kew Gardens. Thought I'd share this photo I snapped with everyone!

Our image of the week.This is an advertisement created for a dentist by an agency called Cramer-Krasselt. A really fun concept mixed with a little bit of creepy if you ask me. Definitely eye-catching though!

Our image of the week.Design for function at its best! In case you can't tell... this is a business card for a divorce lawyer that is conveniently perforated in the middle. Each half has the contact information! This is one of the coolest concepts I've run across in some time.

Our image of the week.This is just one image in a set of a really awesome fire-water concept you can view here. Is there a valve somewhere, or do you blow these out? Maybe douse it with some fire...

Our image of the week.You're probably used to seeing walnuts in a bag of trail mix or in a can of mixed nuts, but clearly - this is where they actually come from! I really wish I new this before eating all that fudge through the holidays.

Our pic of the week.I just ran across the work of Matt Stuart, a "street photographer". He has an amazing ability to capture genuine human moments and really hilarious coincidences. This is just one of many samples he has on his website. Check it out!http://www.mattstuart.com

If you have never heard of Julian Beever before, it's time you check out his sidewalk chalk drawings! I haven't found a good website devoted to his art, but it's definitely worth a google. He has mastered perspective drawing and travels all over the world to chalk alternate landscapes such as this one. Enjoy!

Our image of the week. I’ve noticed a lot of creative ads in my time, but I have never seen a faux coffee that actually steams! I'm not sure it smells as good as Folgers fresh brewed though...

In this economy many businesses, especially small businesses are experiencing a dry spell in their sales and with good reason. Consumers and other businesses are cutting costs wherever possible. Their existing customers aren’t calling as often, and new customers at this point are almost non-existent. What’s the solution? Now more than ever these businesses need to get out there and promote and

Our image of the week. At first glance I thought this was a centerpiece or something. Upon further investigation, turns out...it's a chair. Which is so obvious to me now that I look at it. Ok, maybe not...but still the idea of kicking back to catch an episode of Family Guy in this thing is a bit intriguing.

The season is upon us again, and I find myself thinking the same ole thoughts, "man this year is flying by." Showcard has been through a lot of changes this year, new office, new clients, new opportunities. We've made a lot of new friends and we would just like to wish all of our clients, families and friends a happy holiday. Be safe, be merry and most importantly have fun.

This is our image of the week. This photo is awesome. Kinda makes me wish our office was huge so we could have tons of space to build bright orange hallways in. Probably don't need them, but you know, it's fun to think about.Check it out on the web www.flickr.com/photos/yushimoto_02/1397683988/

Well, it’s officially that time of year again. Family, friends, turkey legs and pumpkin pie. We certainly have a lot to be thankful for and we appreciate the help and support of everyone that contributed to making this year what it was, great. They have done a lot. Put up with our bad moods, helped us work through our stress and most importantly praised us for our accomplishments.So for all of

We would like to take a minute and welcome our newest client, Architectural Expressions LLP of Forsyth, Illinois. We are very excited to have the opportunity to work with them. They are a great group of people and we can’t wait to get started on some of the projects they have coming up.

This is the official welcome to our new blog page. We have lots of exciting things going on right now in the world of Showcard and we wanted a way to be able to share news and updates with everyone. Sometimes it may seem like we're all business, but we do have a ton of fun in the office, outside the office and with our customers. We hope this blog will be a way to let you in on the more casual,
