HoHoDooDa Day 27
December 27, 2012

Back after a bit of a HoHoDooDa hiatus. The doodling juices haven’t quite started flowing again yet, so I thought I’d repost last year’s aftermath sketch. My Christmas stocking had some nibs for my Wacom tablet stylus, so I’m going to have to give ‘em a whirl tomorrow with some fresh doodas.
Until then, wishing you a Merry Holitween (that odd little bit of space between the holidays.)
HoHoDooDa Day 20
December 20, 2012
PLEASE CLICK ON ABOVE IMAGE.
The Illustration Friday word of the week is crunchy. So I squeaked out another quick 2 sketches to try to make up for my lagging the past couple of days.
…………………………………..
UPDATE:
Ok, I’m not sure where I got the idea the Illustration Friday word of the week was “crunchy.” Must have dreamt it. It’s actually “snow.” So, there’s snow in my image, so it still fits, hee hee!
I hope you’ll drop by here and see what my fellow HoHoDooDa Doodlers are up to.
HoHoDooDa Day 10

Santa doesn’t have an iPhone yet, so he’s taking photos old-school.
For more holiday tom-foolery and frivolity, check out what my fellow HoHoDooDa Doodlers are doing here.
HoHoDooDa Day 29
December 29, 2011

Had a bit of a HoHoDooDa hiatus. Christmas was absolutely lovely, but it did use up a fair amount of energy.
So, gots to recharge for 2012.
Why?
Because it’s going to be a great year! That’s why!
Let’s hear it for 2012! This is our year! Right?
Don’t forget to stop by Marion and Laura‘s blogs to see what they have in store for us!

HoHoDooDa Day 7
December 7, 2011
A busy day today, which included attending a Superhero Life Drawing class at, get this, a comic book store. I was in geek heaven!
So I don’t suppose you’ll ever guess what inspired tonight’s doodle.
So swing on by Marion and Laura’s respective places and see what kind of HoHoDooDa whimsy they have in store for you!

… a rambunctious little Christmas…or Chrismahannakwanza, as I like to call it.
Whatever holiday you celebrate or choose not to celebrate this winter, I hope it’s the happiest ever!!
Christmas is the holiday Tom and I both grew up with and still enjoy with gusto, although I’d never turn down an invitation or opportunity to participate in a Hannukah, Kwanza or any other holiday celebration. The more opportunities to hang out with friends, eat (food you would never dream of eating the rest of the year due to sheer terror of heart failure,) or light candles, the better!
For us Christmassy types, many towns in the U.S. have what they call Candy Cane Lane, or a Candy Cane Lane-like street, where every blade of grass on every lawn of every house is blinking, strobing or sparkling with copious amounts of holiday lights and decorations. However, in Valencia, CA the entire town is pretty much a Candy Cane Lane.
Yes folks, Christmas threw up on our town.
What we lack in the beauty and wonder of snowfall, we more than make up with a king’s ransom of an and electric bill and Home Depot receipt.
Tom and I bring up the rear with a token strand of red lights tacked lovingly across the front of our house. We tell ourselves we’re trying to be green, but really, we’re just too lazy busy. Why, we’ve got “Daily Show” reruns to watch.
But you know, as excessive as all the lights, giant blow up snowglobes, and creepy animated santas are, there’s nothing Tom and I like better than taking a detour on the way home from work to gawk at the handiwork of our zealous neighbors.
It’s the closest thing to tradition we have in our suburban town, and we’ve grown to love it.

Above is a an image I created in Illustrator and finished in Photoshop for my 2002 Christmas card. Thought I’d try to get a little more mileage out of it by posting it last year. This year the holiday season has been so rambunctious I’m now squeezing every last drop of mileage by reposting it this year!
