Merry Squidmas - the collection of Squid Christmas Cards continues...
My trip to India and Nepal provided my first international setting which came to be the standard format for the Squidmas card.
Squid looks like he's happily posing with me in front of the reflection pond in a festive, wintery scene at the Taj Mahal.
The following year I took a Mediterranean cruise with my parents.
My favorite stop was in Barcelona. Famous Spanish architect, Antonio Gaudi, designed an entire park, Parc Guell, which has this fabulous lizard fountain.
For the Squidmas card I drew the Christmas lights in Illustrator and draped them along the fountain. Squid is sporting his customary Santa hat and is looking quite at home in the park.
The Great Pyramid is a wonderful backdrop for this rather whimsical Christmas scene.
My friend Jim's classic Vet was the perfect open roadster to drive a decorated tree through the Sahara in.
Squid is the perfect "hood ornament" in his festive Santa hat.
