Snail Mail Goes Online

San Francisco – Will people who choose handwritten snail mail, put a special issue stamp on it and walk to a post office to mail it ultimately go the Internet to purchase note cards? The California Collectors' Series is betting they will. Check out www.californiacollectorsseries.com.

One Man's Perspective

February 28, 2007

San Francisco, CA – The California Collectors’ Series has launched a website of note cards showcasing the work of fine artist Royce H. Vaughn.

Primarily watercolor reproductions of California scenes, the retrospective includes over 25 scenes ranging from well known San Francisco tourist sites to back roads in the heart of California Gold Rush country. Also included are dramatic black and white souvenir photo cards.

“We Shall Overcome” -- a one-of-a-kind portrait of human rights leaders of the Sixties -- completes the set.

Although he majored in art history at Princeton and at one time hoped to pursue museum studies, Vaughn's career has been tempered by practical needs of the times. During the Sixties he founded and directed the Arts and Business Learning Experiences (ABLE) job training programs for disadvantaged youth. In recent years he has spearheaded the Oceanview Merced Ingleside Business League (OMIBL) with an emphasis on business development along Ocean Avenue and has served as vice president of the San Francisco Council of District Merchants.

To honor community leaders and promote community pride, he formed an advisory panel, secured funding and supervised creation of a 24'x22' mural on the PG&E building at Ocean and Junipero Serra Boulevard in San Francisco.

Vaughn continues to paint and has recently completed "Blue Angels Over San Francisco" and "Lighthouse at Point Sur."
