During our studio days, we were either slow or slammed. During one holiday season we were all slammed and were not able to send out a holiday card to our clients. Pep suggested doing a card for Elvis' birthday and our Elvismas theme promo was born. We each drew ourselves in an Elvis outfit with different concepts. Stuart wrote a whole story loosely based on the travels of the 3 wisemen. Overall it was a success and lots of people got a kick out it. It also helped us stand out from the deluge of Christmas promos that were sent out. The one I did was pretty much a Acrylic and Colored Pencil. I could not do the lip curl so I had to hold my lip up. We decided to keep it in the picture as a goof. I tried to add in little holiday elements into my outfit. A Christmas tree on the vest and Christmas ornaments on the belt buckle. If by some chance I can find the actual promo piece, I will post it. The story just makes it all that much better.
