Marionette Boy Christmas Card

He was delivered Christmas Eve, 1898.
No return address.
Strings attached, literally.
The family cut them the next morning.
They grew back by twilight.
He still sits in the same spot every year, waiting for someone to pull.
Blank inside. The show begins when the candles go out. 🖤🎄🪡

About the Creative Process

AI is one of several tools I use in my creative process, alongside Photoshop and other digital editing software. Each design goes through extensive editing, refinement, and customization before becoming a finished product. It's a hands-on, time-consuming process rather than simply generating an image. All paper goods are printed, finished, and packaged by hand in my studio.
