Ah, the time honored tradition of taking your child to see Santa Claus. A meaningful right of passage for every true blooded American childhood but I gotta ask is it for the children or the adults? By the look of these images it doesn’t look like the kids are having much fun being held by their disinterested or “sketched-out” St. Nick. They’re are screaming. He looks about to scream. Welcome to the holidays. Pass the ‘nog.

There a couple of good ones in the lot but for the most part everyone looks uneasy. For more of this slice of life go to www.sketchysantas.com and be amazed.

In 2005, I created RVA Magazine, and I'm still at the helm as its publisher. From day one, it’s been about pushing the “RVA” identity, celebrating the raw creativity and grit of this city. Along the way, we’ve hosted events, published stacks of issues, and, most importantly, connected with a hell of a lot of remarkable people who make this place what it is.
