Here’s my design for this year’s Christmas card. I had the nice people at Docusource of NC handle the printing and folding, and it turned out nicely.
Here’s the front :
Here we see Santa granting the deepest wishes of both the Lizard Man and the Monocular Horned Yeti. See how happy they are?
But what do mortal enemies do as soon as they open their presents? They fight! And it was all part of Santa’s plan!
I’d like to thank George Lamontagne for the idea of the prehensile mustache. Matt Turner also deserves some credit for suggesting a revision to the Monocular Horned Yeti’s mouth.
My friend Chad Morgenstern suggested that perhaps this wasn’t the real Santa, but rather a Jewish Rabbi who being out of work, signed up for a job playing Santa to earn some extra cash. Little did he know he would save the world when he shared a couple of gifts with The Aliens! Chad’s odd sense of humor may surpass even mine.
These were painted as gifts for my parents. Both are 9×12 Acrylic on Wood Panel.
Here’s a drawing I started on paper with a prismacolor pencil, and finished in Photoshop. I wanted to make a Christmas card, and when I started thinking about snowmen coming in from the cold to warm up by a fire, the irony of the situation was too compelling to let the idea wither on the vine.
