About Fast Snail®

Fast Snail® cards and designs are based on the original artwork of Liz Hutcheson. A lifelong artist, Liz works in a variety of media, including pen and ink, watercolor, and pastel, to create distinctive designs that are witty, sophisticated, and whimsical all at once. She is inspired by (in no particular order) good art and literature, travel, French, Mother Nature, as well as things that are ridiculous, unique, funny, and truly beautiful in their way.

As for her friend the Fast Snail, Liz has drawn the Snail for so long that she can't recall when he arrived on the scene. He popped out of her pen with a flourish one day and has been around ever since. A truer and more constant companion there never was.

The cards and prints are printed with archival inks on carefully selected papers, most of which are either from sustainable forests or are recycled stock. Individual cards and prints are packaged in recyclable polypropylene plastic sleeves. Sets of six, eight, or ten cards are packaged in kraft boxes with clear lid and raffia bow, clear recyclable plastic boxes or rigid two-piece kraft boxes depending on the design. Individual prints all include mats.
