2007 Christmas Card Postscripts

[kybearfuzz]

My buddy bearpaco was noticing my new icon and asked if it was part of a larger cartoon. It is from this past year's Christmas card design I sent to friends and family, I refer to it as my "nice" card. Naturally, there is a "naughty" one too. My nice card is below.


The inside caption reads, "I hope all your holidays are full of fun. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!" It sort of captured the indecisiveness I felt when trying to come up with ideas for it. I thought the likeness was actually pretty good considering how long I worked on it, and I thought a cartoon image of me would be a good icon for my toons when I posted them. Even my twin, who never throws out compliments, made comment on it. I consider that high praise. I put the naughty card behind the cut. There is no nudity, but I didn't want to fill up journals with too many images.


The caption for this one read, "Welcome to Santa's Naughty List! Happy Holidays!"

My nice cards generally go out to family and to friends who might appreciate the design of the card more. The naughty cards are generally for my gay friends who are more likely enjoy the humor in it. I'm careful not to mix them up as I don't think my mom would appreciate a scene of a nipple-pierced Santa Claus in a harness, though I would love to see her face when she opened it!

Oh, and the twin... his reaction would be priceless... maybe I should rethink this..

I think they're both great. :) It's a great likeness of you.

Now next year, you should combine the two ideas and do a scantily clad card of yourself for the "naughty" list *WEG*

That's what I'm thinking. I mean, at least a chest shot or something like that. :)

I'm sensing a conspiracy here...

LOL... I rarely draw my face, I can't imagine the gumption my body would require... and do it honestly...

I am envious (and a little bit jealous) of your talent. Great cards!

Wotta talented artist!

Your Christmas card is one of my favorites, if not THE favorite, on the string of Christmas cards I have strung across my living room! I'm very proud of it. AGAIN, I say, you could make a few extra bucks with your talents, possibly by marketing your Christmas cards at Gay bars in your vicinity.

Thanks handsome. I don't think I could sell anything at a gay bar, but it would be an interesting idea. :D

Take this as a complement

This reminds me of a cover that George Perez did in the 80s. Back when he had hair!! hehehehe...Yes, you remind me of a young George. I got to meet him...WOOOOOF...and I think he knew it!

Hugs!

I've always loved his artwork, he's definitely a favorite!
