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 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.
