FREE USPS SHIPPING + FREE MESSAGE

Designed by Christopher Box, printed and assembled with love in Eureka Springs Arkansas (these are not mass produced greeting cards)

PSS PSS PSS captures a very specific kind of love - the kind reserved for creatures who knock things over, wake you up at ungodly hours, and still completely own your heart. Styled after classic conversation heart candies, the playful design pairs sweetness with humor, instantly recognizable to anyone who’s ever tried to summon a cat with that familiar sound.

This card is for devoted pet parents, cat people (you know who you are), and anyone who understands that love isn’t always tidy - sometimes it sheds, judges you silently, and demands snacks. PSS PSS PSS is a small, affectionate tribute to the beautifully unbalanced relationships we wouldn’t trade for anything.

About the Candid Candy Hearts Series

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.
