Last Minute Gifts That Arrive in Two Minutes

You forgot. The post will not make it. Everything in every shop now says "delivery after the holidays".

Digital gifts have a bad reputation because most of them are a voucher with no thought behind them. These are not vouchers. They are the actual artwork, and the only difference is that the recipient prints it instead of you posting it.

Printable art, 9,90 euro

Every one of my paintings is available as a high resolution printable download. The file arrives by email, they print it at home, at a print shop or through any online service, at whatever size their frame is.

The ones that gift best: Not Today, The Feelings Are Huge for the tired one, Ocean Dropout for the strange one, Until the Lights Go Out for a birthday.

Art guides, 7,99 to 14,99 euro

If they draw or paint: The Candy Decay Composition System, The Candy Decay Color System, or Why Does My Art Feel Off. All PDFs, all instant, all in art guides.

A subscription that starts now

The Collector's Club gift can be given today and the first postcard arrives whenever it arrives. Late becomes a feature rather than a problem.

Free, if you are truly out of money and time

The phone wallpapers and coloring pages cost nothing. Put one in a message with an actual sentence about why you picked it, and it will be better received than most things bought in a panic.

How to make a digital gift not feel lazy

Print it yourself and put it in a cheap frame. Fifteen minutes of effort turns a file into an object, and the frame costs less than the shipping you missed.
