Illustration: Christmas Card 2007
As an Illustrator I sometimes want to work in a different Medium. In this case I bought a set of colored fine tip pens. In this illustration I wanted to use my imagination as if I were a child myself. I asked, what about all the elves who help Santa? When they have a few minutes break from making toys where do they go? I found out they go deep into the forests where it is motionless and quiet.
They dwell high among the pine trees so they can’t be seen.
I you notice to the right of the illustration there are two elves playing in a tree. The male elf is in love, and he is showing off to get the female elf’s attention to look at him. She is amazed by his strength and stability to support his legs around the tree. This is the first time these two elf’s have met. She has never noticed this elf before, and to her it was love at first sight! She is simply adoring every move he makes staring into each other’s eyes. They are whimsically happy, frolicking together secretly in the tree where no one can see them. It is magic that bought them together. You see, while working in the toy factory there are multiple floors with many different departments that have elf’s making particular toys. They are trained specialists having no time to waste, for they must make all the toys before Christmas Day. These two elf’s worked on different floor’s in different departments never having a chance to ever meet.
As we all know, falling in love is a magical experience just as it is during the Christmas season, miracles have been known to happen, even for Santa’s little elf’s…🎅🏼
