Did you receive a gift that encompasses the Xmas spirit?

in #art6 years ago (edited)

Hey all
I know it's been a while since my last post, have to say it's been an exhausting year. I certainly needed a little break from things. But now I'm back and will be posting a little more often ;-)

Now I don't usually think of what's the best gift I've received.... I certainly don't track this type of aspect of Christmas.
But this year something stood out. Above and beyond many other gifts and no offense to anyone who gifted us anything, always 100% appreciated :)

A few days before Christmas my partner and I received a letter in the post. This was a thicker than the usual envelope for a letter. Why because inside was a lovely gift from someone I've know for just about a year.

A wonderful whalesharian, steemian and a great friend. So who is this person? And what did he send us?

Two questions that I'm happy to answer.

@zneeke had been working non stop on his now traditional Christmas postcards. These are pretty awesome to say the least, but when he sent us 8 hand drawn original postcards. This is a most wonderful sight :D

You can see the passion in his work through these postcards. They are joyful and fun, drawn in his unique style with a lovely quality in line and colour, you can't help but smile when you see these :-) especially when you see them in there original form.

Just amazing :-) if you want to see these closer up and more of his work please check out his blog @zneeke and his latest post.

So thank you @zneeke for being massively generous and just outright awesome. My missus, the kids and myself where stunned by what you sent. I can safely say that's the Christmas spirit right there :)
All the best, Merry Christmas and have a great 2019 to you @zneeke and everyone who's reading :)
Cheers

It's so cool! When you see that the work of the artist and the illustrator is appreciated. And cause a response somewhere inside.
