Santa Makeover?


3454 Cartoon, originally uploaded by speartoons.

I wonder if Santa gets tired of his wardrobe? What if he looks better in spring colors? The poor man!

Yuletide-Celebration-tree, originally uploaded by speartoons.

I illustrated this for the local, high school Christmas concert. As luck would have it, it works with Illustration Friday’s topic of “excess.”

We go to excesses at Christmas, don’t we? We shop and eat until December 26th, then we make resolutions to get back in physical and financial shape.

Merry Christmas, and pace yourselves. All those excesses can weigh on a person.

Illustration Friday: Buzz


The word, “Buzz,” got me thinking about a project I recently illustrated. This cover is for a story on an audio cd. It tells the Christmas story from the perspective of “The Glory Bugs.”

It’s a cute story. It’s available through Omni Seven Productions.

They will have a second story coming called “All Fired Up.” This one will be about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace.

Illustration Friday: Peace


When this theme came up this week, I pondered what is the most peaceful time of this year. Last night, we had a candlelight service. It was serene seeing all the candles across the sanctuary. Amazing how something as dangerous as fire can seem so peaceful when it is a tiny flame.
I hope in the frenzy of this holiday season, you will find some peace. It’s late on Christmas day, and I’m feeling it. It’s either peace or fatigue. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell the difference!

Was it a Silent Night?

Sketch of noisy barn animals that probably didn't make it a silent night


Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
‘Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Reverend Joseph Mohr

Anybody who thought it was a silent night has never been in a barn. We tend to think of the peaceful, quiet nativity scenes like this coloring page I drew.

We gloss over the nativity story so many times and have romantic notions of what it may have been like. But if it was like any of the barns I’ve been in, there was nothing romantic about it.

What a way to enter the world. What a sacrifice to make!

Merry Christmas!
