Some Old Photos

I have been out of the loop for a while, and home computer-less, so I decided to search through some old files on disk at work on my breaks. So I have no new art, I cannot scan stuff, and have no way of digitally producing anything new, but... ...I found some old Photos I took with a crappy Sprint phone years ago.

Christmas cards day 25: The Humbug

Ugk! I do like how the airbrushed, made up Humbug, came out- very beetle like.

Anyway, I worked all day and feel like a big steamy pile-o-you-know-what, so I made this card up on the spot instead of finishing one of the 30 others. I hope people get the spirit of "jest".(which i believe was what humbug once actually meant)

Until next year...

Christmas cards day 24: Tim the Cat Antlers

This one is for a particular person.

The atrocities of dressing up pets for holidays should be a torturous requirement.

My grandma had a really obese chihuahua we would put antlers on, and it was freakin hilarious. One more Christmas card post left. Many ideas and not much time.

Christmas cards day 23: Snowman Dancing

My second new card! Yay, for newness!

I have a strange fondness for the "Happy Holidays" font.

I wanted another "artsy-snob", "elegant" one. The Grain/snow doesn't show up so well on this small version, but it will suffice for me to know it looks better in higher resolution.

Christmas cards day 22: One of These-Stockings

New one 5 minutes after midnight. Technically late, but I personally think not, I am still in Monday mode.
Patterned after the "One of these..." cards I have done.

Christmas cards day 21: It Glows

Okay, I have 1 day to FINISH one of my new cards.

I am seriously having issues. Anyone that knows how I work, work, work, then get frustrated, destroy what I have done because I'm not happy with it, and start over, should know that this year is EXACTLY the same.

Stupid starting over.

A million ideas, and none of them working quite how I would like them to.

Wish me luck people.

Christmas cards day 20: Not What It Looks Like

This is what Santa walked in on one cold morning.

Christmas cards day 19: The Naughty Pillow

If we told children that if they were naughty they would wake up to Santa smothering them with the "Naughty Pillow", we might have some nicer kids nowadays. The concept was this bully kid didn't believe in Santa and started spreading rumors about it to other kids in his class. Well, Santa, he isn't gonna take any shit. Specially from a 5th grader. So Mr. Kringle decided to mete out punishment to those bad kids. Oh, there is much more to this story. I thought about writing it for a novella for next Christmas for all my friends.
Actually... I will start on it soon.
Something about making these cards brings out the strange in me. These last two put me at the top of my ideas game. Why do I think these things up? And after, why can't I stop giggling like a little devil-girl that just convinced some diabetic person to eat an entire box of very evil, ultrasugary cookies? Tee-hee-hee-hee...
I couldn't get the colors right, and ran short on time, but I think I made a pretty good final copy.

Christmas cards day 18: Frosty's Obituary

I had this image in my head of an older Frosty plagued by his smoking habit. So I wrote the poem, did a little sketch and laughed like a diabolical moron for days.

Tomorrow's card is one that really makes me laugh. Ooooooohhhh, I can't wait.

Actually, I can. I did make it 2 years ago, and it is still just as hilarious.

Christmas cards days 16 & 17: Wise man & Tree

No internet yesterday. So 2 cards today. Two serious cards, and tomorrow will have a good one.

Christmas cards day 15: Santa Sucks

I have a couple more serious cards, I will try and break them up with fun ones.

Christmas cards day 14: Mother Mary

I figured there should be some serious type cards at some point

Christmas cards day13: One of These- Gingerbread Men

I love this one. I hope you enjoy Gingerbread man cannibals as well.

Christmas cards day 12: One of These-Penquins

Christmas cards day 11: One of These-Gnomes

I had a whole series of these planned, unfortunately only 3 got finished.

Christmas cards day 10: Elegant Rudolph

What I considered to be an "elegant" art snob card.

The image, although simple, just feels right, I don't know why.

Christmas cards day 9: Cherubs

Today is a 2-for-1. Kind of.

I ended up liking the shorter longer one best, but prefer the taller one's color(blues).

Sorry about the poor quality, I had a hard time finding the print versions.

From 2006.

Christmas cards day 8: Rudolph & Santa

Blahhbitty blah, 2005.

Christmas cards day 7: Hey Santa...

Christmas cards day 6: Season's Greetings

Another card I made that showed up mimicked everywhere the following year.

2005.
