This Buddha sketch is still one of my own favorites. I used it years ago as our Christmas card because the image seemed to exemplify the essence of the season so much more than the poor over commercialized Santa Claus.
I did use Photo-shop to size the image to the card and make a few enhancements to my original pen and ink sketch.
santa claus, a bag full of joy, buddha, happy, christmas, wandering
A persona who has apparently lived a relatively long, varied and eclectic life. My Red Bubble portfolios reflect my seeming persona… and IF there’s any veracity to these reflections then some sense of HUMOUR and enjoyment should be PRESENT!

Congrats James! your card is featured in Creative Cards! (big smile) well done! (big smile)

I am so grateful to Owlspook and the creative cards group. It is the first place on RedBubble that has confronted me with an unflinching requirement for a degree of artistic integrity and excellence. The feature of this card is just icing on the cake. Thank you.

ah shucks James … I’m just a picky owl trying to help everyone in their pursuit of perfection (lol) … I’m pleased that you enjoy belonging to CC (big smile) and you’re most welcome (big smile)
Let me be clearer. Your approach with Creative Cards isn’t about perfection (IMO) ;-)… but about leading us RB artists to paying attention to the technical realities of RB and how our artistic submissions show and represent our work. I know of no other group requiring this straight forward approach to excellence.
See, you’re a RB artist leader… (really BIG smile, now!)

I was being flippant (grin) … thank you (smile) .. however what I mean re: perfection does include your opinion (smile)
Ahhh, a picky, flippant owl is IMO a wise… or even a Buddha Owl! Now that’d make an interesting card… oh, if I can only format it just right!
lol ;-)))
