\"Soul<\/a>If you’re going to write checks, they might as well be cool ones, right?<\/em><\/p>\n

Apparently, people are still writing checks. \u00a0Check Advantage, the maker of check books and address labels, has grown greatly every year during this down economy.<\/p>\n

They\u00a0called and wanted to do a licensing deal for checks and address labels. \u00a0Maria was stoked, because she always wanted to see my art on checks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Knowing that 80% of the people buying checks are women, I put together a few collections with that in mind; happy suns, bugs and hearts. \u00a0\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

But my favorite is, of course, the Soul Surfer checks<\/a>, which features my classic surf art.<\/p>\n

The checks and checkbooks and address labels turned out great – I’m really happy with it. \u00a0Maria just ordered our first set of Drew Brophy checks – the Happy Smiles Checks<\/a>. \u00a0(Next time I’ll do the ordering – Soul Surf for me).<\/p>\n

If you’re ready for some eye-popping artwork on your checks and checkbook cover and address labels, check out all of my check\u00a0collections<\/a>.\"Smile<\/a><\/p>\n

You can see all of the designs here on the Check Advantage Drew Brophy Page<\/a>. \u00a0Let me know what you think!<\/p>\n

Life is good,<\/p>\n
