Every year, I tell myself that I am going to draw and design my own holiday card. Every year, the holidays chug on by without me even sending out store-bought cards. This year was looking to be a repeat of this cycle.
Then, yesterday? I had an idea.
I laid out the text last night. I drew the drawing (me, Drew and Disco) this morning. I still need to ink and color it but hopefully I will get that done today. The inside will read:
Happy New Year!
Bring it, 2013.
On the back, there is room for a small image. These are my ideas:
- A little zombie with the text ‘You may have survived the Mayan apocalypse but here come the zombies…’
- A little, angry Mayan shaking his fist and saying ‘We’ll get you next time!’
- A little, confused Mayan wondering ‘Did I forget to carry the one? This should have worked.’
I’m leaning toward 1 or 3. Thoughts?

I don’t even know how I would do that! I’m just going to have them printed at Shutterfly. I think if I did etsy to sell, I would have to go to a real printer and put some effort into picking paper and quality and all that. I think? I don’t know!
If you want to use it though, I can provide you with a high-rez version of the image when done. Then you can print a bunch off at Shutterfly too!

Awesome idea for a card. I love the drawing as well. On the back, I would recommend option 1.

Thanks! Hopefully I don’t mess up the inking/coloring part. ;)
