Prairie Breeze Graphics publishes note cards, greeting cards and prints by Nebraska artist Armand Gibbons. Armand developed his elegant line drawing style over 40 years, first as an art teacher, then for 31 years as an illustrator and multimedia supervisor at Offutt Air Force Base. At Offutt he won numerous awards as a civilian illustrator and manager, including 2nd place, Air Force-wide Media Contest and Offutt Civilian of the Year. His original electronic clip art is still available to the public on Air Force web sites worldwide.

Armand's style is rooted in his love of Nebraska. His favorite way of touring Nebraska is on a bicycle seat; it's more being part of the countryside than watching it go by from a car window. He's done week-long bicycle tours with the Bike Ride Across Nebraska, RAGBRAI (Ride Across Iowa) and others for over twenty years. Many of his published note card drawings were made on those bicycle rides.

Armand received his bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1971. Before retiring from Offutt in 2005 he started Prairie Breeze Graphics to publish his work.

Prairie Breeze note cards and prints are available at discriminating stores and gift shops throughout Nebraska.
