christmas 95

christmas card no.9--1995




okay...

the front of this one was black and white with all of that zip-a-tone, but i would go over some of the bows on the packages and on jake's collar with red or green or purple magic marker to make each one unique. and i had fun, again, with the watercolor.
work-wise, i was by this time, firmly entrenched in the spider-man offices, writing first web of spider-man and eventually spectacular spider-man--as well as countless other offshoot projects and the odd issue of doctor strange or generation x when the opportunity arose.

smell ya later!

This is a cute one. Seems like Jake was starting to become the star of your cards.

On a non-Christmas Card note, I really miss the original mid-90s Generation X.

You really capture a child's joy at Christmas with Jake on the cover of this one.

I agree with Brian- Jake's jumping up and down really does capture how all of us children ;-) feel on Christmas morning.

I love the water colours! Some thing I've always wanted to try my hand at .. just not daring enough (yet).
