Happy Holidays!

Well, I did promise a Holiday post... Whatever you're celebrating these days, I hope you're having a wonderful time with your family and friends. James and I are enjoying our days together, spent drawing, watching movies, cooking, exploring and planning for 2008.
Happy New Year to you all, and my best wishes for health, hope and happiness!

    Calvin, thanks!

    Hi Emma, and welcome back from the East Coast! This is good old 2B. I used up a whole pencil which provided an extra sense of accomplishment.

    Thanks Grant! And so do you!

    Thank you Doodlers, that's a great honour!

    And a great New Year to you Robin!

    Hey Jason, thanks for stopping by! Hope everything is going well in TO!

    Thanks for visiting Robert! Drawing trees is a humbling experience, but very fun!

    Germán, thank you! I'm glad you like it! Happy New Year to you too!

    Guilherme, thanks!
    I did almost go with that "two spire" design, but decided against it because I wanted the church to present a unified visual statement - emulating both a Christmas tree and a skating human figure. Well, at least that was the idea...

    Hi Bernard! Thanks and welcome to my blog! All the best for the New Year!

    Frankie, here's a hint: one of them coordinates the current 3D animation program...

    Enrico, thanks! What a pleasure to have you here!
    And see you soon in person at SketchCrawl!

    Hi Teddy!
    You know, I grew up with Asterix and Obelix and for a long time I used to pay more attention to mainstream animation, but lately I've been discovering an amazing variety of storytelling tones through comics. I'm impressed to the point of wanting to create my own (one day)!
    Thanks, I'm very honoured by your visit!

    Jon, thanks. Yes, I was mainly going for atmosphere in this one.

    Thanks Bojana! I had a lot of fun painting the costumes.

    Thanks for stopping by John!

    Drake, I appreciate your kind words!

    Thanks Bill. It was nice to meet you too! I'll see you again at the next SketchCrawl!
