Christmas and Commercialism



This was the first illustration I created when I started my job at the newspaper. I hadn't started blogging about my artwork at that point, so I never got to share this illustration on-line. Even though Christmas season is long gone, I thought it was still worth sharing this piece. I remember it being a challenge to come up with a way to show how the Christian meaning of Christmas has been changed by our culture of over-indulgence and commercialism. I'm really happy with the way it turned out. It was a thrill to be able to take home the newspaper on Christmas Eve and see my name in print underneath my artwork.
