Me + Illustrator = ???

Emir and I recently spent time with Ryan Holt trying to absorb his illustration genius. Illustrator is such a crazy program. You have to 'think' completely differently than in Photoshop. So, in some ways, I feel like a fish out of water. But... when have I ever let THAT stop me? :) Here's something I built while screwing around focusingly diligently on learning more about Illustrator. (Look out... I sense a whimsy new collection of Christmas cards on the horizon!)illustrate1
