What I did this Xmas

This year’s Christmas card that I created for the owners of my work. Each year, our department creates a card that everyone signs (about 1000 employees) and presents it at our annual Xmas party. This is the 4th card I created, but the first with my cartoons. The card (book) measures 9x12 and is as thick as any other pop-up book. Check out the rest on my Flickr page HERE.




...and the tree has 10 LED lights and sing "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" when the last page is opened.

Start of Christmas Card

Greetings. Here is the start of a Christmas pop-up card that I was tasked to create to give to the owners of our company. This will be the third one that I created for the company(earlier posts show the first one). This theme is winter creatures. I anticipate nine creatures in all. Here is what I have created thus far...

Comp for an Arctic Fox.


Here is a Snow Owl.


Here is the start of the Polar Bear family (the mother is shown)


I just finished one with Geese and one with Rams on a crag of rocks (I need to get the pics for those). Also, I wish to thank my wife, Elisa, for her illustrations. She is fantastic and I wish she would draw more and stay away from that photo stuff (rots the brain).

Christmas Pop Up Card

I created this card to give to the owners of A-dec the first Christmas that I worked there. It had 10 pop-ups.....four are shown here. Enjoy.

Here is the size that I created the card to get the desired effect that I wanted.


One of the entry pages. Nothing fancy......yet.


The center spread.


The final page. I wanted something to really WOW them. It was a big hit.


Now that being said-I was asked to do another one this year. Oh the ideas...
