About Bean Horse Car Designs

What do a short, kinda round, big-haired gal and a mantis shrimp have in common? It's harder to find merch with us on it than it should be! Hi, my name is Kate Pinto. Yep, like the bean, the horse, and the car. I started Bean Horse Car Designs after recognizing a need and opportunity for wider representation in everyday illustrations. At the time, I was looking to fill my home with images of all kinds of women and uncommon animals, and it was harder to find what I wanted than I expected. My goals are to make folks feel seen and valued, make underappreciated animals magical, and hopefully get you to crack a smile, even if it's just with a "dad joke". You'll find colorful illustrations, silly puns, uplifting and validating messages, and sometimes a little sass. In an effort to be more sustainable, all of my cards and digital prints are printed on 100% post consumer waste (PCW) recycled paper, and come with a recycled paper envelope. The giclees are printed on natural 100% cotton rag from the textile industry. **Greeting cards and digital prints are ready to ship faster than the giclee prints. Please ask if you have a question or want to split and order.** Read their story
