Short set of hand lettered christmas cards. Pretty rough and unpolished as they weren't planned or measured, but it makes a nice change for me. Drawn with white Pilot gel pen on heavy black sketchbook paper.
@Tom - It's true, just sometimes tough to resist aligning, erasing and fixing things! Cheers for the kind words.
@Arno - Thank you!
@Milosz - Thanks very much, hope you have a great holiday weekend!
@Rudy - Thanks a lot!
@Daniel - Thank you very much for the kind words! All the very best for the new year to you, too. Just been catching up on your work, new project looks promising!
@Yassine - Good to hear from you, thanks a lot! Yeah thought it'd be nice to keep it very obviously hand drawn. Cheers!
That is some swashy goodness Claire :) You're a true artist and have a very keen for for typography. You always know how to make it look good without going over the top, which is key for a great design. Hats-off to you and best of luck in the new year!

Lovely work and great idea! Typography is like your weapon, and words your ammo! Wish you a happy and successful 2012! :)
I'd be happy if you'd give me feedback on my last shot, its still a raw draft tho.

This looks beautiful Claire, I like the roughness of it. Makes it more warm and personal as a card should be. Nice work! :)

Cheers Josh! Just needed to go over the main lettering twice but it makes a nice contrast with the slightly darker swirls.

She likes it rough!
Claire, this looks absolutely stunning.
Very different from your regular well calculated immaculate precision type, but it works so well.
You should rock out a script font. I would pay good money for that.
Rockage, Claire! My only complaint is that you don't post shots more often...
