This year’s Christmas card wasn’t my finest work, but it did seem fitting…
Not that it shows, but it took a considerable amount of time to build my zombie army in the background. I had to find a bunch of pictures of zombies (thank goodness for the internet!) as well as a run-down building. Then everything had to be composited, colors adjusted, shadows fixed, and so on. The “toast” from our photo shoot was the crowning touch. My new tablet actually made a lot of it a ton easier.
Several people have commented on it, saying they found it pretty funny. Apparently Zaque wasn’t entirely impressed, though, because he told me today he didn’t think it was “as good as other years”. Yeah, thanks for the support, kiddo.
That said, his mission companion and a few other missionaries down in Oklahoma saw it and thought it was a masterpiece. And now they’ve decided to make a card to share with the mission (featuring three sets of missionaries) and told Zaque he should ask me to do it. So there, kiddo!
He had two photos for each pair: one “normal” and one humorous. I slapped everything together into a fairly vanilla card:
But I felt like there was something missing. I went to work.
Yes, much better! Apparently they’re going to head over to Walgreens and print a bunch of these to hand out to people. Hah!
