The Sussex Family Christmas Card

Pearlee · ‎06-11-2011

This has been in the news for a couple of days. I think it is rather odd because it is a drawing made out of a photograph that Doria took of Harry, Meghan, Archie and their two dogs. In it, Archie has reddish hair. Harry looks the most odd I think because of what the artist who made the card drawing from a photo did with his hair. Some colors throughout the card are made from blocks of color and his hair looks like he is bald in a very odd place (not where he is really bald in top back). I actually don't think he is supposed to look bald at all; it was the way the colors were done.

It strikes me as strange to make a drawing from a photo. I wonder if it was done that way because the Sussexes just don't want people to see Archie?

Before I get criticized for not posting a photo of the card, I can't do that from my phone which is where my internet access is. It's all over the internet though. The scene is very summery looking but the articles I read say Doria took it earlier this month.

I don't necessarily think it was an artist who turned the photo into a "drawing". There are a number of apps/programs that you can do that with, including, I'm told by a family member who owns a design firm, plain old Photoshop.

I think it's lovely! They tend to step 'outside the box' - I applaud them for that.

This time they stepped out of the playhouse (well Harry did).

It's different, not a cookie cutter card. I like it a lot.

It's not a photo. I believe they used one of those apps to turn a photo into artwork. I think they chose an artistic flare because they are obsessed with not showing any pictures of Archie.
