10 Days of Home-Made Christmas Cards: Day 7

It is a well known fact that the older you get the more you hate snow. When  you are a kid... someone else does all the maintenance, or the maintenance you do is fun. Not anymore. There is no fun to be had shoveling the flat roof, even though there is now a door so one no longer has to climb out the window. So here's hoping for a sunny Christmas and a happy global warming to all!

10 Days of Home-Made Christmas Cards: Day 6

We have crows that hang around. Sometimes we feed them. Sometimes they feed themselves... if they have access to the garbage bags.

10 Days of Home-Made Christmas Cards: Day 5

This one is from 1992, not long after Nico and I had taken up habitation with a certain grumpy (but never dull!) banjo playing Scots person.

Happy Birthday, John!

10 Days of Home-Made Christmas Cards: Day 4

This card was from 2004. I draw a lot of dogs. In fact two cards featured black and tan dachshunds. They are graphically fun to draw like black and white cats.

10 Days of Home-Made Christmas Cards: Day 3

Believe it or not, John and I have attended a local hunt ball a couple of times. Decked out and everything. There are people there who actually dress up and ride around after hounds... but do not chase a fox. Just something dragged and fox scented. Which is good. I do not advocate hurting foxes. Dressing up...and John in a tux, of that I approve. Here is a little Christmas card story featuring a fox...and a bunny.

I've done quite a few cards with cats (and some with dogs) and lots with trees. Here is a cat and tree card from 2001.

The 10 Days of Home-Made Christmas Cards

I've been making and sending out my own cards for years and years (and years!). I usually try and make each card a mini-graphic novel. I thought it would be fun to post some here, one each day leading up to Christmas. I've had to rearrange them or otherwise some of the panels would be upside down! Some are colored and some are good old pen and ink. This one was a favorite. I, personally, have several Elvis ornaments. But then...doesn't everyone?
