Running, running, running . . .

Christmas is heralded by the shops and advertisers months ahead and with great effort I ignore them, and then no matter how I approach it, I am always late and running to catch myself, in a race I know I can't win.

Nicole Smeltzer

Nicole Smeltzer is another of my '#illo_advent' discoveries. This is Nicole's 'Presentipeed', Nicole loves word play and is often inspired by things her daughter says and questions she asks.

Sophy Henn

Sophy Henn's illustrations made for '#illo_advent' a lovely sharing of illustrations leading up to Christmas.

Ri Tori III

Love this snow sprinkling moon man by Ri Tori perfect characterisation of the magic of Christmas Eve and the characters that you imagine constructing magical mischief.

Gerald Rose, Christmas

Gerald Rose is an illustrator that brings me so much joy and so I am sharing his 1960 Christmas card illustration this Christmas Eve hoping it bring you joy to.

Round robin

A robin bauble is my last holiday post for this week. It looks very female for what is the male bird, but I do like her.

Tetsuhiro Wakabayashi XI

A wonderful Christmas tree owl by Japanese illustrator Tetsuhiro Wakabayashi.

Aiko Fukawa II

The delicate illustrations of Japanese illustrator Aiko Fukawa are full of beautiful details to adsorb your eye and curiosity. 

Keiko Shibata VII

A surreal, busy illustration by Japanese artist Keiko Shibata has that pre-Christmas panic about it, with so many characters rushing around the page, I love the sky of birds in party hats. 

Antonio Ladrillo I

Spanish Graphic Designer and Illustrator Antonio Ladrillo's Christmas Trees are running, running to or from Christmas? I like the idea that they are running away back to the forest, or equally that they could be running to get dressed up in all of their sparkling lights and glittery decorations.

Antonio Ladrillo's style is positive, bold, bright and humorous, as he welcomes you to his website he say's "Today is a good day :-)"

Happy Holidays

Here is a penguin to wish you all Happy Christmas. 
I hope that you all have a lovely time with friends and loved ones.
I am taking a break now for a few days to enjoy some time off.
Love and Best Wishes
