I was feeling a bit festive so I decided to knock up this little Christmas beauty. Unfortunately while I was drawing it a giant gust of internet wind came a long and knocked all of the pine needles off….. honestly. And then some kind of thieving virus came along and stole all of my pretty ball balls, so I had to use some left over skulls from another illustration. Can’t trust anyone these days…

I’ve been hit with this christmas flu bug virus thingy like most of the country, so this image speaks for itself really. Like everyone else I thought it would be nice to relax a bit over christmas, enjoy a few drinks with friends and family, then be nice and refreshed for the new year. But no. I’ve spent as much money on christmas presents as I have on cough medicines and paracetamols.
Only four more days until new years eve. fingers crossed I can shift this pesky bug by then, happy flu-ing people!!!
OMG. It is only a week and a half until christmas! Every year seem to sneak up on me a little quicker, but this year stormed past Kris Akabusi style “Awwwrriiiiiggght!!!”
I’ve Done all of my christmas shopping…….. online……. just got to wait and see if it all turns up in the post!! The house is decorated and the tree is up, with no cat related incidents as of yet. Just got to get these christmas cards written and sent off.
I finally got the cards printed onto some 
lovely textured card. The texture shows through the image aswell which looks great, just the effect I was looking for. On the back I have the web details etc in colours that match the front, which finishes it of nicely.
Now I just need to rely on the post office to deliver these out to people…. so they may get them by the end of january. Lovely stuff.
Thats right… you’ve guessed it, it’s Christmas card number 3. This started off as a regular snowman just looking a bit evil, but it just didn’t seem quite right. So Mr Skele-snowman was born, or resurrected even. The text in this one is taken from the snowman song. Ahhhhhhh how cute.
One more Christmas card then I have a set of four, which will make a lovely large poster image. Keep em peeled!!
So here is Christmas card number two. A couple of characters from other artwork popped in there in children’s toy size versions. Plus a skeleton jack in the box, which personally I think would be a pretty cool gift rather than a scary one. The text is taken from a line in the well know Christmas ditty “Santa Claus is coming to town”.
Be good kids, he’s watching!!!!

It’s that time of year again, the build up to christmas. Girlfriends and wives have endless christmas lists to shop for, boyfriends and husbands haven’t got a clue what they want so they just get socks and man stuff, and everyone gets stuck in massive turkey, alcohol and biscuit trolley queues at Tesco.
Here is my first christmas card design. One colour illustrator image printed on recycled/textured card. Bah Humbug!!!
