A special holiday greeting from me to you


A very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday to everyone no matter how/what/where you celebrate.

Every year I have illustrated an original Christmas card for my family to send to family and friends. The earliest Christmas cards we would make were silk screened and my father took my art and cut it by hand into the screen. Latter we would xerox the cards in black and white and hand color a few small elements to enhance them. And now I can scan, edit, color and prep the files on the computer and have them printed in vivid color, but no matter what form the cards take they are a continuing tradition I am proud to be part of. This year I decided to show you the illustrations I have created since 2000 in the video above.

I hope you enjoy the video and have a wonderful season.

New Art: Even Santa needs a bit of help…

I have not posted in a while and thought it was high-time to do, especially with the Christmas Holiday upon us later this week and the very end of the year a week later.

I always do a bunch of Christmas Card designs every year and this year was no different and I was thinking it would be fun to post some of them as we lead up to the start of the New Year. So come back every day and see whats been posted.

So we’ll start with some humor and whimsy…

Merry Christmas – Happy Holidays.

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very Happy Holidays.

Right now I am together with my Mom and Dad, my sister and her husband and we are all having a good time. We still have to get the house ready since my Mom’s side of the family (Hi to Nadine, Jim,  Judy, Chris and the whole gang) will be here tomorrow night and then the next day, after a quite morning of gifts and a tasty breakfast we are heading up to my cousin’s place in Saratoga.

A big shout out goes to all my friends and colleges. I hope you have a great time the next couple of days no matter where you are.
