RBDG Christmas Cards

Santa's Unified Theory2013 (Click Image to Enlarge)

For over 20 years I’ve had the honor of creating the Christmas card for Russ Berger Design Group. Russ has always been a hands off client, allowing me to have fun with whatever silliness I can come up with. Russ creates audio design for some big names and it’s always a fun challenge every year to find a new angle to keep them guessing. The majority of cards have usually included Russ and his employees. This year was a departure with a scientific approach to the magic of Christmas. Below is a sample of a few from the 21 cards I’ve created for Russ over the years.

Truthiness

Colbert-ChetArt-500

“Truthiness” is my tribute to the comic genius of Stephen Colbert. I can’t imagine having to deal with the insanity of politics without Mr. Colbert’s brilliant ability to provide a humorous release valve. He’s not afraid of tackling any issue. (Except…. bears.)
