Best Laid Plans...

An art director requested a couple drawings for a Christmas lintecular ornament. Lintecular is that funny plastic that when moved up and down, you can see a different image. The art director's idea was to have the baby Jesus with his arms out wide in the manager. The alternative image would have Jesus on the cross, with his arms out wide. I added emphasis by having the cross wood an element in the manger scene as well as keeping some of the cloth folds the same. I thought it was a wonderful idea. The plan was scrapped yesterday by the marketing department.

Sherwin...i feel your pain. We've all felt that pain: )

Beautiful illustrations though, and extremely well thought out.
