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.

Designed the first brand for the Richmond’s First Fridays Artwalk and promoted the citywide “RVA” brand before the city adopted it as the official moniker. I threw a bunch of parties. Printed a lot of magazines. Met so many fantastic people in the process. Professional work: www.majormajor.me
