Here comes Santa Claus


All that toy making and list reading makes a fellow a little ranky dank…. but not to worry, he’ll be one sweet smelling,  jolly old elf when he gets to your house! Don’t forget to leave his cookies…. and maybe a bar of Irish Spring next to the plate.  Irish Spring…. manly yes… but Santa likes it too!

Bad Santa

You better watch out… You don’t and you’ll cry
You better not doubt… I’m telling you why…
Santa Flaws is coming to town!

He smells like a fungus. He’s covered with lice.
He spits when he talks… and he’s not very nice.
Santa Flaws is coming to town!

He sneaks in while you’re sleeping
And eats up all the cake
He drinks the beer and kicks the dog
So beware for goodness sake!

You better watch out… You don’t and you’ll cry,
You better not doubt… I’m telling you why… Santa Flaws is coming to town!
by Roberta Baird

The side of the family that no one wants to talks about!

Illustration Friday Phenomenom

OK…. so you know the phenomena thing, where Santa lays a finger “aside of his nose,” gives a nod and up the chimney he goes…. Well I think it works in reverse too…. down the chimney  he goes! Only this time, it seems to have a bug in it. Poor Santa!  Too many Christmas cookies… He’s stuck tight. There’s no budging old Kris Kringle!

Shoot… and I’ve been a pretty good girl too…. Guess I’ll go call the Effective Liberating Flight Squad or E.L.F.S. as they like to be called.

Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight!

Illustration Friday ~ Prehistoric

Here’s a quickie I worked on for “prehistoric.”  I admit it, I love the caveman commercials!

Most of my time right now is being spent working on working on my first picture book, due out in the spring of 2011! So if I seem out of the loop… you’ll find me at my wacom, painting detailed illustrations of snuggly creatures.

Mama always said that “The way to a man’s heart was through his stomach.”   So when Charity invited Oscar over for Thanksgiving dinner, she found out pretty quickly that she was in trouble! Help mama!!
...and she lived hopefully ever after.
