Designed by Christopher Box, printed and assembled with love in Eureka Springs Arkansas (these are not mass produced greeting cards)
Bring Tacos is a love note disguised as a request, because sometimes care looks like showing up with food. Originally created in 2018 and first introduced during a Valentine’s showcase in Dallas, this design reflects a very real truth: in Texas, tacos carry the same emotional weight as hugs, compliments, and “I was thinking about you.”
This card is for the people who know that nourishment is affection, that comfort can be wrapped in foil, and that love doesn’t always need words. It’s equal parts playful and sincere, a reminder that showing up matters, and bringing tacos never hurts.
Inspired by the iconic Conversation Hearts® candies, first introduced in 1902, this series draws from a Valentine’s Day tradition that has spanned generations. Known for their pastel colors and stamped messages like Be Mine, Kiss Me, and Call Me, conversation heart candies became a cultural shorthand for affection, small, sweet, and to the point.
The Candid Candy Hearts series began in 2018, created on short notice for a Valentine’s Day décor installation at Neiman Marcus flagship store in Dallas. When an artist unexpectedly backed out, I was invited to step in, and these updated, tongue-in-cheek hearts were born almost overnight. What started as a quick creative solution became one of the most talked-about elements of the installation, resonating instantly with shoppers.
Since then, Candid Candy Hearts have grown into a staple of my art catalog. Each piece keeps the familiar candy-heart format intact while updating the language for modern life, trading sugary clichés for honesty, humor, and emotional truth. They’re designed to feel both nostalgic and unmistakably current, like a Valentine that grew up and learned how to tell the truth.
