Happy Holidays!

This is my Christmas card this year. Hope everyone is having a great holiday!

(click to enlarge)



This is also available without text as a wallpaper and a print.

I'll leave it up to some intrepid Jewish artist to draw a family of menorahs lighting people on fire.

P.S. Here's the original pencil sketch and the more detailed digital sketch.

Wow! Not just this one but most of your work is fabulous! I see so much dreck from so-called artists that I often wonder if any talent is left out there. Then I saw your work. Imagination, crisp execution, a little dark, terrific color sense...man, I hope you are getting published.

you never cease to amaze me. every time i start to think of things in normal working order i stumble on here and it's all ass backwards again. it seems like you incorporate different reversals a lot in you work. i think this is one of my faves.

I'm not sure why anyone would call this creative. The definition of creativity is an original idea that has merit.

Where is the merit in this illustration?

Presents deserve no empathy so it can't be a message to "save the presents."

Is this some disjointed statement against capitalism, or is it just being morose because the artist feels he has to be violent to stay hip?

I would like to see this artist work outside of his comfort zone for a change, and stop pretending that being morbid will somehow give his work merit.

It is as much what you say as how you say it.

Your Christmas Cards won my blog's weekly award, The Homer Simpson Transmundanity Award on Friday.

It is some really wicked work Rob.

My new favorite Christmas wallpaper of all time! This should be made into wrapping paper; I'd buy it in bulk.

What about turkeys eating people or christmas balls hanging children in a tree??...

I really like your drawings (this one VERY included). Have great holydays!!

children are oddly shaped and therefore would create much wasted space not filled by toys...

you should be more ergonomical in your designs.

kidding! awesome concept, i loved it
