A Victorian Christmas to Die For

Here's a great link for Victorian Christmas cards  -
"Frog Murder and Boiled Children" at bbc.com 

 I've been looking at Victorian illustration for a very long time. 
You can probably see some influence in my work.
I am working on a commission right now that is 
not too far off the mark. But, I really hadn't been thinking about it 
until I saw the bbc.com link this morning.
Here is the work in progress currently on my easel:

And here is my decorated tree this year (2015):
Wishing you a wonderful holiday!

I am making a resolution to blog a bit more in 2016. 
I had tens of thousands of readers before they abandoned google reader 
and google blog search.
Blogger also made it harder to upload photos without using google chrome.
But, I am going to try again, because I have never abandoned my readers and fans.
And, although I am also on social networks, some of you are not.

HAPPY NEW YEAR from LITTLE HOKUM RAG!
