Jeannine and I got to talking a few days ago about our Christmas cards, and realized that we don't have an organized archive of all of them, which we both thought would be a neat thing to have. So I am going to try to put that together, which means starting with searching the hard drive on my desktop computer for any Christmas card-related files. So far, I have only come up with three -- not an auspicious beginning.
But one of them is something that before I started looking, I'd completely forgotten about. It's the card I made for us in 2003, and it was unusual in that unlike previous cards, this one was folded differently, in thirds in a kind of accordion fashion. That way, the image of the Turtle on the Segway was on the front of the card, and when unfolded you could see the whole image.
I kind of like this one... I think the colors work well. -- PL

I love your work on the turtles, miss the book. Christmas and TMNT go together like peanut butter and hummus ;) They are both about Love and Family. No mater what creative team had control thats been the what they have been about since day one. Have a Merry Christmas, I know you will because you have ... Turtle Power! ha ha I that lame song its a guilty pleasure song compared to what I listen to now. Enjoy your holidays.
Gee I wonder why Donatello is the one up front in the Segway? ;0)
I like how you draw out a Christmas card design of your own and send them out instead of going to a dollar store and buying a box of a hundred. Its more special and meaningful your way and I love the designs.
Perhaps its a silly question, but since there was the famous Fugitree last year did you have a theme this year on the tree?

Thank you! It is part of the fun of Christmas for me, and now that I am back into the drawing of the cards I think it will be even more fun.
"Perhaps its a silly question, but since there was the famous Fugitree last year did you have a theme this year on the tree?"
Not silly at all! There is no real theme this year -- we have gone back to our basic approach of using the ornaments we have collected over the years, although we did get rid of a bunch that we either didn't like any more or which were falling apart (or both). I would love to have another "Fugitree"-type theme next year. Maybe I need to start thinking about it now! -- PL
Hey PL,
It seems your getting that TMNT spirit back. Awesome. It maybe the holiday spirit, either way its good. Enjoy Christmas with the fam or just the fam.
Very nice it is now the wall paper on my parents computer =)
