Christmas Card 2010

This is the result of running out of time and scrapping the Christmas card I was working on. I was writing a rhyme-y thing I called Rudolph the Redneck Reindeer, but it wound up going in a direction not suitable for Christmas. By the time I realized that I wanted to do something closer to the spirit of Christmas it was too late to do anything complex. So I experimented with Photoshop, found three suitable vintage postcards from 1921, and came up with the image above. The white space was left for a personal message. Below are the three cards as they originally appeared. Some people thought I had done the artwork for this. Thanks, but I didn't.



Merry Christmas, everyone, and a Happy New Year.

Christmas Card 1980

Oh, great. I found another Christmas card hiding in another pile of paper. I'm glad I'm finding them and can now put them in a binder so I'll know where they are next time. But I wish I'd been able to post these in chronological order.

Christmas Card 1985

This one's out of order because I just found it buried under a pile of paper.

Christmas Card 1976

I usually send out homemade Christmas cards every year to a handful of friends. Over the next couple of days I'll put some up here. This first one is from 1976. As you'll see, my style and execution have evolved over the years.
