As usual at this time of year I have been designing Christmas cards for friends and family.  However, I also completed two additional little Christmas design projects.

Firstly, I was asked if I’d like to contribute a picture for the Skwigly web site advent calendar.  It seemed like a bit of fun, so I accepted.  For reasons unknown, even to myself, I drew Christmas tree missiles raining down on the surface of the Earth.  Cheery.

Lots of other great artists and illustrators also contributed to the calendar.  Go check them out.  I feel honoured to be in their company.

My second project was to design a card for A Productions.  My brief was that it could not include anything Christmas related.  That narrows down your choices for a Christmas card.  So I went for perhaps the well worn subject of a winter landscape.  But I do quite like stark images like this.
