Or just disgusting lust?

We hope it’s love.  Otherwise it’s just gross.

We always knew Mister Lister had a mildly sickening sense of humor.  But what can you do?  He makes us laugh.

Love — since V-Day is just around the corner:

Well?

These cards and more just like it were created by Jabzug.

She’s made some awesome card creations here at PigSpigot, which is why she’s our featured artist today!

Here’s what she had to say about her work:

What inspires your work?
Anything!  I really love typefaces.  I know that’s really dorky..but I just can’t help myself!  Lately, I have been very inspired by album covers.  So much more goes into them than I ever cared to notice until recently.

What’s your favorite kind of greeting card to receive?Nicole Daddona
Probably one with money in it.. just kidding..!  I love any card that comes from the heart.  As cliche as it sounds, I like when a card says something special that a person wouldn’t normally say out loud.

What’s your favorite kind of card to send?
Funny ones.  I love any card that makes me chuckle.  My favorite thing to do is to take a funny card and then write something really genuine and from the heart inside it.

What is the last card you received / sent?
My Birthday just passed, so the last card that I received was.. well… a Birthday card!  The last card that I sent was a thank you card for a Birthday gift that I got!

Where do you do your best work?
In my room or a coffee shop with music on in the background.  I also usually light a candle when I work.  I guess I like my work to be romantic.  Actually, I just like the way candles smell and make a room feel.

What’s your favorite medium and why?Santa Rules
Honestly?  Plain white Xerox paper and a pencil with a big eraser… then I go over the pencil with a Le Pen ultra fine black pen before scanning my illustration into the computer where I do editing magic in Adobe Illustrator.

Where are you located?
The mean streets of Connecticut.

Where can people find your art for purchase?
Oh!  What a nice question.  I have an Etsy store, but nothing is really on it.  I guess I should update that!  The address is http://www.etsy.com/shop/BeyondTheseBorders.  Thanks to anyone who checks it out!

Tell us what you think about the Pig!
Amazing.  Fun.  Clever.  Off-beat.  Wonderful.

What’s your favorite pork product?
Bacon, but I don’t eat it anymore.  I love pigs too much to eat them… especially the Pig!

We say pick pig! We’ve got strong hearts.  If you need someone else’s heart, pick pig.

Happy Valentine’s Day.

And thanks TonyInfamous for grossing us out.  Hearts aren’t really pretty.

Snort. Snort. Ahhhh!

If you couldn’t tell this is a g-ship card, you should check out more of his stuff.

But around the sty, we know that love comes in all shapes and sizes.

Although we wouldn’t want to fall victim to love by hypnosis, we hear it’s popular in rap songs…

For some reason, the pig just can’t look away.

The pig

can’t

stop

staring…

Konstantin we’re compelled to love you.

Although this card is listed under Valentine’s Day, it’s a lovey card for all occasions.  If your honey loves movie references, drop this as a random act of kindness.  Or if you’ve done something really stupid (forgot an anniversary, wrecked your shared vehicle, etc.), you could send your gal this card as a self depricating apology.  It says, “Oops… At least we have love.”

This throw back was brought to us by TonyInfamous.  We recently featured this fella in an artist spotlight here on the PigSpigot blog.  You can find all his awesome cards here.
