Christmas Card Artwork - 2018

Hi All,

Seasons Greetings, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays....hope you're having a wonderful holiday season - whatever holidays you celebrate.   I hope the start of winter is going well (or summer if you're way down south).  Here in Phoenix it's going good...it's a little chilly for us, but I'm enjoying every bit of it.

So every year I do a Kreienbrink Christmas Card and share it on the blog.  This year I've combined themes - birth of Jesus (of course), holly, and green/red, and also our location.  At the bottom, just like a physical card, I share a message for friends and family as well.

Kreienbrink Christmas Card design - Christmas 2018 - pen and ink and electronic paint

This years card is above.  I started with a pen and ink drawing of all the elements and imported it into the computer.  Once in the computer, I painted in the color portions in Photoshop.  The city is Phoenix, featuring the Star of David/the star in the east, and some other Christmas themes making the border.  It was a fun little project.  I don't mail Christmas cards out - this is my card and I share it on social media and in direct messaging as well (a little bit).  For me it's a nice way to try to brighten the holidays and let people know you care.

I hope you holidays are going well.  May the peace and joy of the season, fill your heart and mind all year long.  Make every day a great day.  Reach out - and make someone's day - for no reason.  Let's have the best year yet.

Peace and Love,

Tom Kreienbrink

PS - below are a few cards from years past.  Have a great day.
