I’m a professional illustrator and designer who has been creating and sending my own Christmas cards, as well as the occasional birthday, or get-well-soon card to family and friends for about thirty years.

I’ve never been a big fan of overly serious designs or straight up cartoons. For me, a memorable card is one that is amusing – or at least has something visually clever in the composition, and illustrated well. If that can be combined with a few well chosen words that help to drive the visual concept home, then the card is a winner.

I can not claim to succeed every time I try, but I that is my goal when developing new card ideas. A good example of that is represented in one of my best selling designs: Cave Painting.
