She previously earned her BFA in Illustration at Savannah College of Art and Design as well as her MFA in Illustration Practice at Maryland Institute College of Art. Originally from a small town in central Florida, Mai Ly grew up surrounded by orange groves and gator paraphernalia. It was there that she learned to appreciate all things fun and kitsch. Lately, much of her time is spent with a .005 micron, brainstorming and drawing tediously patterned illustrations inspired by humor, relationships, and imaginary things. Her passion is in creating imagery and illustrated goods that make people laugh.<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/cards\/artist\/mai-ly\" target=\"_blank\">Mai Ly Degnan&#8217;s card collection<\/a> and send a card without leaving your computer.<!--more--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/NC_5.png\" alt=\"NC_5\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/NC_5.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/NC_5-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/NC_5-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/NC_5-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/NC_5-1024x1024.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/cards\/artist\/mai-ly\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.postable.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/see_button.png\" alt=\"see_button\" width=\"175\" height=\"49\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #00265d;\">1.
