Two days ago my sister asked me to do some new tags or label to use on the Christmas' gifts under our tree. This is what came out:

I draw the little fellow with Rotring pens, and the curls with a soft grey marker. I left the place for the name of the lucky recipient of the gift blank to write it after printing. I scanned and painted the whole thing on Photoshop. Then I thought it would be nice to make a more internationalized version to put it on the web so a bit of Wacom writing did the trick:

Then I went even further and made an A4 sized Acrobat PDF with several of these labels packed together for easy printing and cutting. I guess you could even print them over sticker paper and make it extra easy. Ruler and cutter and transparent wide tape will do the trick for me. You can download the file here.

Happy holidays and gift making for us all!

Let me blow off the dust on your skin,
so you can breath again.
Let me blow away the doubts on your way,
so you can see my footprints beside.
Let me blow out the cold in your feet,
so you can warm mine.
Let me blow up myself,
so you can join me again, pretty lady.
