New Christmas Cards!


Angel Orchestra


We wish you a Merry Christmas

I'm very happy to have two new illustrations to share with you. I did these recently to add to my range of Christmas cards :) For these illustrations my starting point was thinking about some of the rituals of Christmas, like decorating the tree, putting up Christmas lights in the suburbs and family dinners. "Angel Orchestra" comes from that simple idea of the decorated tree but as always I have a slight obsession with inanimate objects becoming animated, and so at night when no one is around the angel decorations start to play their instruments and have a little party. "We wish you a Merry Christmas" initially came from thinking about families. I had this image of a family standing around a piano having a sing-a-long. My family doesn't own a piano and as far as I know none of us can sing so this is not something my family actually does, but I'm sure some families must do it and have a jolly good time! This image then morphed into a dog sing-a-long because I do love doggies, and then it hit! It should show a neighbourhood dog choir going door to door singing Christmas carols! I hope you like them :)

I have just updated my online shop with all the new cards and prints, you can check it out here or from the link at the top right of the page. The Christmas cards are available as single cards and as packs along with the rest of the Christmas range shown below, which includes some of my favourite illustrations X
