Pirate Santa

"Avast, me hearties, we need to get this booty under the trees before the light o' dawn! But woes to them that be on the naughty list, arrrr!"

Once I realized that "Ho ho ho" and "Yo ho, yo ho" weren't all that different, this drawing was inevitable.

On an unrelated note, one thing I've noticed in Christmas decorations and ads this year is the "buff Santa." No round belly, often not even a white beard. Lookin' burly. That fact didn't influence the illustration, but drawing him this way certainly fits in with the times!

Penguin, James Penguin

A sketch inspired by one of my favorite Christmas songs, "Penguin, James Penguin" by #bradpaisley.

This is from the part where the lyrics say "Then a knight in shining polyester waddled through his door."

Sumo Claus

As I was drawing Santa for a friennd, I realized that if I were to draw a sumo wrestler, I'd draw him the same way.

Viking Santa

...for no reason whatsoever. I just doodled this Viking, and, when I went to take it to full color, I thought, "Y'know, you make his bearskin red, and this guy's Santa." So I did.

I'll just say that he's the one that brought Christmas joy to all the good little Norse boys and girls back in the tenth century. I imagine that it would be a bad idea to be on the naughty list.

And, despite his rather grim visage, I want to wish everyone Merry Christmas!
