After a very pleasant summer entertaining and being entertained by lovely guests, I threw myself into the deep end of working the busiest season of the year ... and am only now able to emerge for breath and crawl, exhausted, onto firmer ground.
Here is what I've been up to ... the Merry Christmas text design below has been a huge best-seller for me at Zazzle for the past three years, especially on stamps, tee-shirts, stickers and postcards, so I retouched it a bit and placed it onto new products. Also redid the same text design in red, blue and green, but won't put them all up here!
The Merry Christmas white Stamp in this design, I'm truly proud to say, is at the moment the #9 best-selling product on Zazzle :
I completely redid my 2 Candy Canes artwork (was never really happy with the original!), repainting it digitally in Corel Painter 12:
This Merry X'mas design was originally in green and red, so I touched that up and redid it in blue and red as well:
Reworked my popular Happy New Year design, updating it to 2012 and adding a new Teal and Cranberry colour combination (it's also in red & black and lime green & pink):
And finally, I experimented on one of my doodles and did a bit of a 'retro' number on it:
Retro Christmas Balls blue and Retro Christmas Balls red
All this has taken up most of my waking time (i.e. ALL my time as I haven't slept much) and I'm on the edge of burning out, so I'm slowing down on the 'early festivities' and plan on taking some time off this coming week and get some drawing done. I miss my pencil-paper therapy. Cheers!
