1983 Christmas card

I had a great uncle who was a working artist and made his living painting Colorado landscapes. Every Christmas we'd get a beautiful hand-made linoleum block card from him, more often than not, a winter scene – skillfully designed to make the most of the "high contrast" printing process. Unfortunately, none of us thought to keep any of them. If we had, I'd be posting one here.

I've done a poor job living up to my namesake's legacy. So far, this is the only personalized Christmas card I've ever drawn. I heard it creeped a lot of people out at the time.  Nice legs, huh?

Feliz Navidad!

    I can see the family resemblance! It's definitely time to update the card next year so we can see how every one has changed.

    Merry Christmas!
