Boy, do I have a lot to catch up on, the creative juices have been flowing freely.  But for now, I wanted to make sure to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

As I became more serious about my graphic design efforts, the pressure to create a good Christmas Card became much stronger.  Not because I felt like I had to, but because I knew of the potential, and I certainly didn’t want to let the opportunity go to waste.  It is also a fun way to gauge how much my styles and preferences change each year (which can also be bad, as I have made some doozies in the past that I thought were awesome at the time…) and see how my art develops.

I think this year is my favorite yet! Drawing my husband seems so natural, because he looks like one of my drawings in real life.  And of course I would never pass up an opportunity to draw little Penny Louise.  The style seemed very fitting for us this year, and I have really been into color schemes.  Like I mentioned, my style has really been evolving.  But I like where it’s going.

Though, the best part about illustrating my own Christmas card is that we don’t have to take family pictures! We all know what a pain THAT can be, right??

Merry Christmas, everyone!  And don’t forget! If you want an awesome, illustrated card like this next year, be sure to contact me before October, before I get booked up for the season. Pricing for custom illustrations start at $150, and infographics at $100.
