Pretty nice
drawing. Was someone in your family a drafter ?
Any more from the same source -- other years, etc ?

AIGA
Thanks SDR, on behalf of my father, who was a graphic designer and art director and drew our family Christmas card every year. He was a multiple AIGA award winner, two of which were for type faces (fonts) he designed in the 60s, when they were hand drawn. I have a couple of other cards and some drawings.

That's so cool !
It would be fun to see more of his work.
We could expand this thread to include other hand-made or home-designed holiday greetings -- considering the time of the year. Both my parents made Christmas cards at various times, as did a younger couple I knew well. I did so too, for some years, on and off. Here's my favorite. You'll have to decide if it's sufficiently Christmassy. It combines xerography of a pencil drawing with stencil-applied spray colors, on light gray letter-sized paper. The tree is cribbed from Eric Sloane -- a pen-and-ink drawing.

Dearest SDR,
I think that your holiday card is lovely. Now is there any chance that you could add a few outdoor pieces of Schultz/66 to each of the scenes? Especially with a layer of fresh snowfall.?l. If not, I still think that it is quite festive. I like it.
Happy holiday's to you and yours,
Aunt Mark

Thank you,
my dear. That's a lovely idea. The furniture could be present in, say, two of the scenes -- in different locations -- and leaning against the cabin and piled with snow in the winter view. Hmm . .
Merry you-know-what !
