Happy Holidays



I wasn't able to mail out a card in time, so I hope this virtual digital kind will suffice. I was originally drawing an elf doing the robot. But it was very complicated. Because he was at a rave. So I opted to draw a quaint chrismassy city block instead. The other day I did the robot in the shower, for no reason. It just felt natural.

The holidays snuck up, didn't they? Not to mention 2010 is practically busting down our doors. I don't like it, mostly because 2010 takes a long time to say, unlike "09", there is no shortened version. We can't really say "0-10," can we? Wait til we get to... 2017. Why do we say the 'Two Thousand' part anyway? We all know what millennium we are in. Can't we just start counting upwards without it?
Well, there's my rant for the day.

Happy Holidays to everyone, and I hope two-thousand-and-ten only brings wonderful things to you!!

Boy, that's cute! I love the simplicity of the design you've used here, Nic. Lots of good economy and no shortcutting. Great stars, too. This has a real New Yorker magazine cover feel to it, clean and direct.

Thanks for sending out this cheerful holiday graphic. So much nicer than a greeting card.

Happy Holidays, Dear Nicolette!
