Gary has been making his own Christmas cards for years. He used to make them all by hand, drawing a copy of his annual card for everyone on his list. For the last few years he has used his computer to make the cards.
The 2008 Christmas card featured Sarah Palin. In 2007 Gary created an image for the perladvent calendar and the camel theme wound up being carried over to that year's Christmas card. The 2009 Perl Advent Calendar also featured artwork by Gary.
Gary worked in an animation studio years ago, when individual frames were hand drawn on clear acetate. They then placed the finished animation on movie film by shooting one frame at a time.
Although the animation on this site was created using more modern techniques, the experience of having done it the old fashioned way certainly paid off when Gary made the transition to using a computer.
