I think today's blog title pretty much says it all. Hope everyone has a happy holiday season! Don't stress out too much over gift giving... realx and enjoy yourselves for goodness sake!
This week's SweetIM animation is another one involving "Jolly Old Saint Nick!" Here he's the more traditional Santa Claus that we all know and love, as opposed to last week's post. How Santa can fit into such a small opening in a chimney is always a point of interest to me. That's where this idea stemmed from. As you can see, it's a tight fit, and a dirty job, but somehow he manages. Merry Christmas!
Not only is Christmas week upon us, but we had our first snow storm of the season this past weekend. Aside from having to shovel ourselves out, the snow looks beautiful and just adds to the magic of the holidays. That is, of course, as long as it stays white and doesn’t turn into a slushy mess. =P
In any case, we thought it would be appropriate to sketch some North Pole scenes for today’s Monday Morning Motivators. Hopefully Santa will have clear skies for his Christmas deliveries. I can't wait!
Since Christmas is next week, I thought it would be fun to share another Johnny’s Secret Nipple! drawing I did a few years back. I updated the text to play off of the whole controversy between saying, “Merry Christmas” or “Happy Holidays!” I say who cares... say whatever you want. Don’t we have more important things to worry about?
In any case, enjoy the drawing! Oh yeah, and Merry Christmas!
When you think about it, if not for the whole jolly, present-giving thing, the idea of Santa Claus could be really creepy. Here you have an old man who watches you sleep. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good. What's Santa going to do to you that's so terrible that your parents are pleading with you to be good?? That's straight out of a horror movie. The idea for this animation came from having a little fun with that idea.
