This holiday season was a busy one for me with lots of traveling, visits and excursions. I didn't have nor make the time to do my own Christmas card this year but I was lucky enough to help in creating a Christmas card for someone else. My long time friend from college, Julia Marcum, and her husband Chris Marcum wanted to do something fun and less traditional for a Christmas card. They wanted a caricature of themselves and their darling daughter Greta to grace the front of their Christmas card. At first, time wasn't on my side and I tried to tell Julia that I wouldn't have time for this, but she informed me they would just find another illustrator. I didn't want them to get a crappy Christmas card so I decided to do it myself after all and I'm very glad I did. Julia says the card was a hit with her family and friends and I must say I'm very pleased with the results myself.
