Medium: Watercolor, Digital/Photoshop, Image Size: 20”h x 14″w, Note Card Image Size: 7”h x 5”w, 2017.

This artwork was created as my 2017 Christmas Card. I adapted my Trekker Bear illustration by turning him into Santa Bear. This art depicts Santa Bear merrily hiking to give out Beary Christmas gifts to all the young, wild critters. What do you think he gives the wee ones? Teddy bears, of course!

Reindeer Chaos

Medium: Pencil, Digital/Photoshop, Image Size: 7”h x 21″w, Note Card Image Size: 4”h x 11”w, 2018.

This artwork was created as my 2018 Christmas card. I modeled this in the style of my Funky Totems which is a colorful, graphic style with humorous characters. My Funky Totems are a modern-day twist on the ancient totems of indigenous peoples. Whereas our ancestors from long ago depicted the animals, plants, and spirit beings of their time, I have reinterpreted that simplistic style to show the many things that go on in our present-day culture. This totem depicts the chaos of playful reindeer who aren’t of much help to Santa.

Foxy Christmas

This design was created as a Christmas card design for 2019. I wanted a fancy cartoon style of a cute fox cub. Little fox cubs don’t get much cuter than this little guy. He’s got the big-eyed innocent look that makes him adorable. The branches and ribbon were painted in Photoshop.

RV Christmas

Medium: Pencil, Digital/Photoshop, Image Size: 14.25”h x 20″w, Note Card Image Size: 5”h x 7”w, 2020.

This artwork was created as my 2020 Christmas card. I did this artwork in a colorful, graphic style with humorous quality. Santa is driving his old car and pulling an old airstream trailer. I did an RV theme that year because Harry and I were living in an RV park at the time, and our neighbors were RVers just like us.
