Santa Claus and Rudolph play a deadly game of cat and mouse in opium dens all over the world

Apparently he is hiding out, heavily armed, in dubious underground pubs all over the world, while playing a deadly cat and mouse game with an equally armed-to-the-teeth Rudolph….

I buy postcard format pads of Bristol or watercolor paper and simply draw whatever comes to mind – then a few words on the back, an address, a stamp and off they go.

The nice thing about the Rotring ArtPen ink, is that you can go over it with a paintbrush and water and give it a fine wash.

For many years I did this without even scanning them, so only the people who received them (if they received them, that is) would even know they ever existed.
