Upside Down Christmas Trees!
Sharing this fun gif for Wayfair, retailer of Upside Down Christmas Trees. Who knew this was a thing? When I was a kid I drew a little comic of a guy that “installed” his Christmas tree incorrectly… upside down. But apparently Christmas trees were hung upside down as far back as the 12th century! Find out more of the upside down tree’s history on Wayfair’s website.
I love their use of Stranger Things as a reference. Even the grinchiest of Demogorgons can get into the holiday spirit with a fun twist to the modern Christmas tree!

Elf’s 10th Anniversary
Buddy the Elf & Jovie (Will Ferrell & Zooey Deschanel) My favorite Christmas movie, Elf, turned 10 this week! Each year I can’t wait until the Christmas season arrives so I can break out the Elf DVD and watch it non-stop. It never gets old to me. I love the comedy of Elf, of course; it is Will Ferrell at his best. But I also love the message about the Christmas spirit, the underdog & fish-out-of-water theme, and not being limited to what society tells you to be. So I decided to paint a full image of Buddy & Jovie in the North Pole with the arctic animals.
Will Ferrel (Elf) I painted this first Buddy the Elf illustration a few years ago for my Christmas cards. Since then I have used this image for my social network icons many times. Then a couple years ago while I was a teaching associate at The Rock School, the students would request coloring pages from me. I knew most of them were big fans of Elf (who isn’t?) so I decided to turn my caricature into a full coloring page for the students to color. I did a Buddy and Zooey DeschanELF coloring page- you can find both in my ‘Coloring Pages’ section.
