Illustrated Christmas Cards

I feel a bit guilty rolling out the Christmas cards so early, but I illustrated some of these back in July when the idea of sweaters and snow seemed positively absurd. Since I've been seeing Christmas displays in the stores since before Halloween and the ads are beginning to creep in on the TV, I decided that I would not wait any longer. I tried to create imagery that felt like winter, but did not scream out "HOLIDAY SEASON". At this time of year I tend to like things that are cozy, but not too cliched.
