It's Chrimbo, let's unite.
What I despise about 'current day' is how everything in western culture is designed to divide us, when we all know that the best way to move forward is to come together. It's the oldest political trick in the book, get us all bickering like toddlers about petty shallow infantile self absorbed nonsense so we don't notice what's really going on. The corporate sociopaths in charge see the population as a problem to be managed, insignificant numbers on a spreadsheet that get in the way of what they decide is progress, not the individual people they serve. In reality every life and every opinion has value shaped by individual experience. We can all get along and learn from each other even when we disagree. United the likes of the WEF and their allies cannot stop us, and what better time to come together than at Christmas.
So Happy Christmas to everyone. Hope you all have a fantastic time and best wishes for you and all your family and friends in 2024.
'NO' to 2030

More of my Dad's Xmas card designs #3
Christmas time is almost upon us again...
Here is the third of my Dad's 'lost' Xmas card designs that were probably from some time in the late 70s to the early 80s. This one is my favourite of the three. A very graphic snowflake illustration rendered in pen and ink. What do you think? Let me know below...

More of my Dad's Xmas card designs #2
Christmas time is almost upon us again...
Here is the second of my Dad's 'lost' Xmas card designs that were probably from some time in the late 70s to the early 80s. This one is a more traditional card design that speaks for itself. I love the inking style and the dynamic running pose brings the deer to life. What do you think? Let me know below...

More of my Dad's Xmas card designs #1
Christmas time is almost upon us again...
Apologies for the lack of posts through 2023, it's been a particularly busy year. Back in the spring, after a year and a half of looking, near misses and set backs, my wife and I finally sold the house we had lived in for 18 years and bought a larger new build property. As you can imagine it has been a massive upheaval sorting it all out, not least going through all our stuff and deciding what to take with us and what to chuck etc.
While looking through all the old paperwork in the loft I came across three (!!) more of my Dad's old Christmas card designs that I had completely forgotten about. I didn't think I'd ever find any more so it was a massive and pleasant surprise.
So presented here for the next three weeks are these 'lost' Xmas card designs. They were all litho printed and probably date from some time in the late 70s to the early 80s. This first one kind of looks like a stained glass window in a church mixed with a kaleidoscope design. Love it. What do you think? Let me know down below...
Cheerio to the old homestead!
