You’re sending more than Art
Every card you share helps foster creativity, connection, and storytelling.
A note on paper lasts longer than a conversation. Many are kept, re-read, and treasured in ways digital messages can’t match.

You’re Supporting Young Voices
Our mission goes beyond design and connection: every purchase supports 826CHI, a nonprofit that empowers young people to express themselves through writing and storytelling.
Inspired by the joy of receiving something personal in the mail, we created Forget Computers as a way to bring real art into the world — one postcard at a time. Whether you’re sending a quick hello or a heartfelt note, our postcards make it easy to share something real.

Our Story
Forget Computers is a love letter to slowing down, appreciating art, staying in touch, and sharing something real.
We’re Christine and Ben, partners in life, travel, and creativity. Our journey together has taken us across winding roads, coastal trails, and vibrant city streets, always with a camera (or two) in hand. Some of life’s best moments aren’t loud … they’re quiet, fleeting, and worth pausing for.
Our limited-edition cards are made to capture those moments. Designed for mailing, gifting, or hand-delivery, they pair beautifully with optional stamps and can be shared however feels most meaningful to you.
This is more than a postcard project. It’s a return to something we believe in: meaningful, artful communication, one message at a time.

FAQs
How do I Address a Postcard?
Checkout this helpful FAQ from the USPS: How do I Address a Postcard?
What’s an Art+Note+Postcard?
An Art+Note+Postcard is more than a message — it’s a moment you can hold.
We print original artwork on thick, gallery-quality postcard stock that’s made to be written on, mailed, framed, or gifted. It’s part postcard, part notecard, part small art print — created for people who want to connect with care and style.
You can send it, save it, or display it.
No swiping. No scrolling. Just real beauty, shared by hand.
What makes Forget Computers cards special?
Each postcard features carefully selected, custom artwork designed to inspire, spark curiosity, or evoke nostalgia. Printed on high-quality cardstock and ready to mail — with options for a stamp included — they’re a little piece of art, sent with a personal touch.
Are the cards limited edition?
Yes! Although some designs will remain in circulation longer than others. If you love a particular postcard, grab it while you can!
What size are the cards?
Our postcards measure 4” x 6” and are printed on 17pt cardstock with a matte-coated image side for a premium look and an uncoated writing side for easy messaging.
How do I order cards?
Simply browse our collection, add your favorites to your cart, and check out! We’ll package them up Monday–Friday (excluding U.S. holidays) and ship them to you via U.S. Mail.
Where do you ship?
We currently ship within the U.S., but we’re exploring international shipping! If you’re outside the U.S. and interested, let us know — we’d love to hear from you.
How long does shipping take?
Orders typically ship within 1–2 business days and arrive within 1–2 weeks, depending on your location. We don’t offer rush orders — after all, we’re all about slowing down.
Do you offer bulk orders or wholesale pricing?
Yes! If you’re interested in ordering postcards in bulk for a shop, event, or special project, reach out to us.
Do the cards come with stamps?
Every card has the option to include a matching U.S. Forever stamp. That means it’s truly ready to mail — today or anytime. We love selecting stamps with beautiful designs. They may not always be traditional postcard stamps, but we’re happy to pay a little extra for something special.
What should I write on a card?
Anything you’d like! A quick hello, a favorite quote, a shared memory, or even a doodle. If you need inspiration, check out our blog for ideas (coming soon). Don’t overthink it! People love receiving handwritten notes, and our postcards make even the simplest message feel special. Remember to mention who it's from!
Can I submit my own artwork to be featured?
We love discovering new artists and are exploring collaborations for the future! If you’re interested, send us a message — we’d love to hear from you.
