In recent years, I’ve taken to designing my own Christmas cards, usually simple and seasonal without words. This year’s may or may not be a Christmas scene; it might be the jackalope burrow’s chosen sentinel sitting solstice vigil over a candle to guard the hope of light through the longest night. But you can read it however it makes the most sense to you.
I sold a few of the extras through Instagram, which was a new experience. It’s interesting to think about someone buying an art print on a card with the purpose of sending it to someone who probably doesn’t know me, and won’t have an automatic smile because they recognize my work and have a history of shared experiences with me. Hopefully the jackalopes will make someone smile all on their own.
