Here are vintage christmas cards from the past. The B/W train drawing is hand drawn on paper with marker pen and 'Letratone' for the shaded sections, and then photocopied. It was done before I had a computer. The 2005 and 2008 cards are both painted in photoshop,and mostly printed out to give to people though there were occasions when it was emailed instead.
The 1997and 2000 card designs were originally done in a 3D programe, possibly a cut down version of Lightwave 3D in the late 1990s. The original files have been lost so these ones are scanned in from printouts done at the time. The 2002 design and the candle design were done in Photoshop. The candle design was also lost and is a scan from a print.
from the website...
This christmas card illustration was painted in 2008. It illustrates Father Christmas delivering presents during the night, over a winter landscape with a snow covered village featured. Rather than do a painting with Santa claus in a conventional sleigh, pulled by reindeer, I thought that I would twist the concept and have those elements replaced by large, round christmas puddings.
