Marian Makes - Hand Made Cards

15/12/2025

Simple joys are finding old paintings of Christmas trees, adding some shimmer, framing it into a lil tag and knowing that it will add a small heartfelt touch to a gift out there.✨

Which kind of seasonal greeter are you?

Hello Folks! Radhi here~
It’s been 2 years since I did an intro so just wanted to hop on here and say Hi! 👋🏼

Story time! I started ‘Marian Makes’ as a small art biz back in 2017, solely focusing on greeting cards, then tried out a few more products when I returned post uni & work in 2023 (personal favorite are stickers!) but what I most enjoyed was painting commissioned cards and portraits. It allowed me to pour in my talent to something special which in turn filled me with so much joy! 🥹

But of lately, given that I’m working full time & traveling to work, I haven’t been doing much on this page and any attempts to keep it alive is nearly embarrassing (not as much as how little I’ve drawn this year 😭). It’s had me reflecting on how I should keep at Marian makes and what I want to do hereon out [reflection ongoing].

So while I figure that out, thought I’d share what I do know for now which is that I intend to keep showing up at artist alleys, pop ups & markets, sell some goodies when I can. But what I’m most excited to share about is that I’m working on prepping the digital formats of my art to be available on an online platform, making it more accessible to you guys rather than relying on popups for the paperbacks~

So please bear with these dry bones as I crack up some posts out of the blue! 🥴 But do stay tuned because there will be a bunch in the upcoming season! 🎄

If you made it this far, drop a comment on what style/art/ or piece I’ve drawn is your favorite! (It will actively be helping my reflection 🫠)

Groot was too cute to be left alone so made some GOTG members to keep him company! Oh and painting Gamora’s hair was super satisfying! 🍇
I also did newer versions of a few of the chibi characters from DC & Marvel because well- I didn’t like the eyes of the old ones 👀

Come drop by the artist alley to get your hands on these stickers at Lanka Comic Con on the 30th & 31st of August!

See you there! 😌🍄

Why a DOTA 02 themed ‘get well soon’ card? Feels random- but not when a fellow gaming buddy wanted to make a friend going through a tough time feel extra loved. Even without having played the game even once, I found myself pouring my all into this one. I was given creative freedom so I tried playing with acrylics as well, and went a little crafty with a pop-up logo and a foldable note. Swipe through to see the design process and techniques used in this card! This was definitely one of my best commissioned cards back in 2018 so had to repost it 😌

Doggies teach us a lot in life 🐶one characteristic is patience but I didn’t realise that lesson is included when you pain them!
Jokes aside, I really did learn a thing or two on how to paint realistic fur after this piece! Isn’t she such a DAAARLINGGG??!! 😍
