Christmas in July

Usually around Christmas we gather at one of the relatives who has a good sized home and we get the families together for a festive holiday celebration. Since we don't happen to have that kind of square footage we decided upon a Christmas in July party where we could utilize our outdoor yard space. For kicks I decided to do up a bunch of elves, hula girls and snowmen for the gig. Hand colored, mounted onto foamcore and glued onto sticks they made for decent fans in the +90º heat.

Great napkins!

So I'm not a coffee drinker, but I do love the attitude and swagger of Seattle's Best Coffee's napkin copy: "NAPKIN. aka spontaneous genius sketch paper". I couldn't help but hopefully prove them right by adding a sketch of my own on one of their napkins.

And for those students that have had my Storyboard class, they also know darn well that their final assignment is done on bar napkins. I've often considered the lowly bar napkin a wonderful medium to draw on.
