I'm back, with tidings of great joy

UNCLE JOE'S CHRISTMAS CARD

Front

Back

My uncle Joe Choy commissioned me to make a Christmas card for and starring him. He wrote the brief in excruciating detail so I consider this a collaboration. Very few of the ideas are mine. I'm glad I finally got myself to a scanner because of this - all the way across the street. I don't know what was stopping me, besides the fact that it costs money.

This was the first really involved drawing I've done in awhile and it was good to work on. It was also good to listen to Sarah Vowell read The Partly Cloudy Patriot (my favorite Vowell book yet) and begin to listen to Alfred Molina read Bob Spitz's Beatles biography.

The next drawing project will be re-doing my business card.

Since I was already paying for it, I took the opportunity to scan a bunch of sketches from over the past months. I'll be posting them a few at a time here.

I'll also post my Halloween costume as soon as I make it.

Man, that's amazing. Weirdly, though, I imagine Hank Abblebee speaking the line.
