This is my winter holiday festivities card. I don't have the time (or creativity!) to make one up every year, but having exhausted all my snarky/nerdy/non-denominational purchasable sources this year, I was in a corner. Thank goodness I had Futurama as inspiration. I've been wanting to paint some Santa-bots for ages, so this was kinda testing the waters there. But 2011 will have Santa-bots. Somewhere. With a large arsenal of holiday cheer missiles. :)

I mailed one out to everyone whose address I know (the difference between 50 cards and 250 cards was $10 this year, so I have a big box of cards sitting here, ha). The rest of you, enjoy the online fun. You can read the inside:

This was supposed to be my 2006 Holiday card but I just don't think it photographed well enough to make a good card. It's actually a very pretty painting, but the transparent layers look too flat, and the green came out too blue, and the glossy bits just make the painting look lumpy and dull.

I made this to be my 2004 holiday card but chickened out at the last minute and made the tree one instead. I like it a lot, but I was afraid that No. 1) the silver would not turn out, and No. 2) the Christians on my list would freak out and report me to the authorities as some Satan-worshipping pagan godless freak. What can I say? Old age must be softening me up...

This was based on an old design I had for a quilt. I used scans of fabric to provide the texture, but its all digital. Printing it for holiday mailings was the most painful experience ever. My skin crawls whenever I see a kinkos sign now.

This was for a business card for a friend. She wanted it to be of the expressive type. The face is taken from my favorite Tank Girl illustration.
