First up, if you are in San Francisco, I highly suggest going to the Lab this Friday, 30th. It's the opening of Post-Postcard 11. Here's the concept:
"The LAB, a 23 year-old nonprofit artists-run gallery, is pleased to present Post-Postcard 11, the eleventh annual exhibition and sale. For this exhibition, artists are encouraged to submit small format multiples--whether that be a series of hand-made paintings or a stack of production run postcards. Post-Postcard challenges artists to stretch the parameters of media and conceptual strategies by doing what they do best--subverting and manipulating a theme to their own ends.
From November 30th through December 8th, hundreds of small format editions will be on view as the gallery is transformed into a bazaar-like bargain-hunter's paradise, just in time for holiday shopping. Art lovers can explore original works and discover hidden gems at affordable prices while supporting emerging artists and a great alternative art space. Work will be priced between $1 to $30."

I have a box with 24 collaged drawings on wood. Here's set one:
There's a sneak peak of the others on my MySpace page.
