Dear Santa...

One of the great things about being freelance is that you never know what the next job will be...
During the summer I did a bit of fun lettering as part of the current Christmas print campaign for Gillette for AMV BBDO
Although not the toughest lettering jobs I've ever done, I just want to say that drawing convincingly like a child was actually a bit harder than I thought. After doing a bit of research, I was really surprised by the huge range of writing styles a class of 6 year olds deliver -- from quite neat and easily understandable to something that might pass as borderline psychopath. For this job I submitted quite a few styles per person and also did versions in other languages for the European market.

Some of my best work this year. How cool to work in crayon!!
I also supplied some "illustrations" to go in the background. I worry about how much pleasure I got out of these actually.
