Decided to use one of my redwood tree drawings for the holiday card. Did a few variations as usual and had a hard time making up my mind which I preferred.
Deconstructed.
This was way way back and I still like the designs today. – I shot some trumpet vine greenery across the street and used the same photo image to repeat using many graphic treatments with a few fonts, colors, textures and vectors.
Just found old biz cards I made with an old Epson color printer ( the best btw ) and then plastic laminated them at Kinkos ( remember them? ) photoshop collage of my drawings, paintings and Dover 😉 – heavy duty laminate. Hand cut.
Found some of the original artwork that I used for them which is below.
Photo collage. iPhone and  canon digital photos.
Quick pencil sketch on tracing paper for a mural/room divider I painted for the Hotel DeAnza’s breakfast room on the second floor. San Jose, California. Quite a few years ago. – the color photo is a color copy of an original photo i have somewhere, cannot locate it just yet. 😉
Repeat patterns in illustrator, holiday greenery.
What’s old is new. illustrations for holiday cards years ago.
This years holiday cards.
This is my Holiday card for 2015. Shot the Transamerica Pyramid building here in SF a few months ago.
