Phoenix postcards, printed and mailed
Phoenix is a city with a landscape instead of a landmark, and the designs are honest about that. There is no building on the front at all.
Phoenix postcard designs
6 ready-made fronts for Phoenix. Pick one, write your message on the back, and we print and mail it.
What the Phoenix designs show
A desert mountain ridge drawn in red-brown engraving with the rock strata picked out in halftone, three green saguaros standing in the foreground, and a flat red sun behind a bank of cloud.
It is the least urban front in the catalogue and the most accurate. What people remember about Phoenix is the light on the rock at the end of the day, and line drawing renders that better than a phone camera pointed into a sunset.
When people send one
Winter and early spring, when the rest of the country is cold and this is where the golf and the baseball training camps are. Also hiking season, which is the same months for the same reason.
Or use your own Phoenix photo
A saguaro up close, a pool at forty degrees, a thermometer you photographed to prove a point. The desert is generous to an amateur photograph.
Frequently asked questions
Do you have a Tucson design as well?
Yes. Tucson has its own set, built around the mission church, and it has its own page. Both Arizona cities print and mail the same way.
