#157 Holiday Gift Exchange

'Tis the time for holiday cheer again!

This time last year I made an elephant drawing for this
art history gift exchange.

This year I made a tree topper for the librarian for the visual resources
library; she loves Harry Potter and LOTR.

So I made an Eye of Sauron Tree Topper:

in progress

in situ 

close up at home when i finished it. 

in situ, again.

I was surprised to find that no one had done this yet, 

according to a google image search.

Also, I thought about working the Foucaultian Panopticon in somehow,
but overlapping the North Star, the Eye of Sauron,
and Santa seemed enough cultural layering.

Hope y'all liked this.

Happy Holidays!

#135 It's Jesus's Birthday

Its Jesus's Birthday.

Honor him by voting for my brother, Ken,

in this nativity scene action figure contest.

Ken's is pretty obviously the best nativity scene.

I mean, Jesus is a facehugger hatching from an egg,

and the magi are all robots with pretty awesome gifts.

Right now, first place is an awful snoopy nativity. AWFUL.

Don't let this injustice stand, vote here.

You don't need to register and you can vote once per browser.

Voting ends tonight.

UPDATE: Ken won.

They sent him a Luke Cage/ Powerman double pack.

Swoop!

#131 Christmas Gift / Elephant Part Two

Did an elephant drawing for a white elephant gift exchange.

Drawn after Jan Mollijn's woodcut.

From the little elephant in the top left corner.

Kind of an Animalia supplement.

Here is the original elephant post.
