I was looking for a character to create a Christmas Greetings card when I stumbled upon the (public domain) work of Moore. I never realized there were so many versions. Nevertheless, I id create another one, including my own images and a new text.

The artwork in this book (i.e. Skredches) is also available as prints, Tees, Mugs and more in my printshop!
There's more to explore!
