Segpub Christmas Cards

This year’s SegPub Christmas cards are something special; each one has been illustrated by 4 Segpub-hosted artists. These are now on sale, with 50% from each card sold going directly to Oxfam!

Here are this years designs:

(Clockwise from top left) Mathew Hoy (Hellaboss), Jon Hicks (me!), Claire Robertson (Loobylu) and Nathan Jurevicius (Scary Girl). These are all artists I’ve admired and envied.

The brief we were all given was very flexible – the only stipulation was that it had to incude SegPub Yellow, and the Segpub logo. I have to say, after months of coding and IE bug fixing, it was a joy to just make something. After this I really feel like giving up on coding, and just trying to make a living from plain ol’ design and illustration again.

Cards come in packs of 4, at $12 AUD each pack (excluding GST). Shipping is just $1 per pack to anywhere in the world! Go shopping!

They look great Jon, but if I had to pick a favourite it would have to be the one Claire did. Reminds of David Lanham, and for only $12, cheaps as chips!

Very nice indeed. I do prefer your above the others. Nice job.

Wow, these all look awesome, Jon! I especially like the way you included the logo. And I agree that it’s nice to take a step back from the headaches of web development and just make something. I’m currently working on this year’s series of holiday screenprints and enjoying not having to worry about how text will reflow based on the user’s preferences, or CSS pseudo classes that IE doesn’t understand. Of course, I do still have to worry about optimizing designs for eyeballed registration, making sure the exposure time for the emulsion is just right, figuring out the logistics of printing eight colors with two screens…

Ah, screw creativity. ;)
