Welcome back artists! Quote post with an old piece that you still like!
It’s a very simple piece from my 2020 edition of #illo_advent that I always thought was really funny. Grover just plain not feeling it says it all about how things were 5yrs ago.
It’s #illo_adventDay25! We’ve reached the finale and all ends well for Rocky and Tock! Well, except that their house has been blown to pieces and the choir’s been roasted like chestnuts on an open fire, but hey! At least Rocky’s deflated! #illo_advent #illo_advent2025
It’s #illo_adventDay24! It’s the penultimate post of this year’s edition, and we are going out with a BANG!!! Will the neighborhood survive the blast? Will the Choir finish their rounds? Will Tock be able to find a new pair of pants for young Rocky? Find out tomorrow! #illo_advent #illo_advent2025
An illustration of a white and black greyhound sleeping in a living room containing a lit replica coal fireplace, a deep red armchair and a lit Christmas tree in the corner. The armchair has a white cushion with a big, yellow star on it and the fireplace has a long, thin red and white Christmas stocking hanging beside it containing a hedgehog stuffed dog toy. The fireplace has a pair of legs falling into it with black boots and red trousers with white trim, sending up specks of soot and wafting a cloud of ash into the room. The greyhound is looking up, surprised by the sudden appearance.

A watercolorpencil drawing of a selection of christmas creatures with santa hats and little purses.
Every year I make a #christmas card with a selection of festive creatures. I seems december is a full-blown image campaign for Santa and the elves but there are all kinds of other christmas creatures who also wants some attention.

It’s #illo_adventDay23! Smell that? That’s the smell of a glorious Christmas Eve rapidly approaching! That other smell though? Well… Let’s just say those kids are wise to try blowing out those candles and quick! #illo_advent #illo_advent2025

It’s #illo_adventDay22! Rocky’s feeling a bit of pressure and decided to get some relief! You know burping’s an option too you little wretch! And with that sweet choir performing for you no less! Guess he’s dreaming of a green Christmas! #illo_advent #illo_advent2025

It’s #illo_adventDay21! Well isn’t this nice! A choirs of children have come to sing for Rocky and Tock! I’m sure this will be a sweet and adorable time had by all! #illo_advent #illo_advent2025
An illustration of a glittery, round, gold Christmas bell with star-shaped sound holes in the top half. Out of the bell are protruding the head, forelimbs and lower abdomen and hindlegs of a brindle greyhound, with the bell acting as its chest and midriff section. It is wearing a Santa hat and dangling from a string like an ornament.

It’s #illo_adventDay20! Well, if you can’t make the ‘Flate-O-Santa work, then make one of your own! Rocky’s the right size now, and Tock took care of the rest! I’m sure the neighbors will like this more lifelike Holiday Loon! #illo_advent #illo_advent2025
An illustration of a white and black greyhound lying on its side on a bed, and a dark-haired woman lying behind it on the bed essentially acting as the "big spoon", her arm draped across the dog. They are wearing matching hooded jumpers, which are forest green and covered in repeating white rows of alternating Christmas trees and stars in a Fair Isle type knit pattern.

It’s #illo_adventDay19! We are in the homestretch and Tock is heading home to get some supplies! Tethers? Antacids? Nope! Not sure what our time-telling pal has planned, but those don’t look like they’ll help deflate Young Rocky. Perhaps he’s painting a HELP sign? #illo_advent #illo_advent2025

It’s #illo_adventDay18! Young Rocky thought he had his ‘Flate-O-Santa fully figured out. Turns out ‘Flate-O-Santa felt that Rock needed to be more full-figured instead! Tock the Clock is certainly in shock! That’s not how oxygen usually works! #illo_advent #illo_advent2025

It’s #illo_adventDay17! Young Rocky seems to be having a tough time puffing up his ‘Flate-O-Santa using conventional methods. Fortunately, his pal Tock is there with a handy solution that will work so much better and not leave the kid breathless! #illo_advent #illo_advent2025
