Bouton's stuff, Volume 2

[Gare]

You're more than welcome, Boy!

The sad thing is that if I'd posted this on the ClipArt area, no one would have seen it. I've already got the last two submissions on there and no takers.

Which means one of two things:

1. Yes, I am fun, and the response is good on TG.

2. I ought to set up a Sabrette's frankfurter and gyros cart on the corner of this thread, because I get a lot fo traffic. :)

Two hot dogs, please! Hold the relish.

I've still got my eyes closed and it's still dark. What now? I've been like this for two days. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Gare, and I'll take two dogs with all the fixings.

I was wondering whether that line about what we used to call "The Umbrella Room" in Manhattan would "play" outside of New York!

I guess it does! :)




Have a terrific one, everybody.

Give your loved ones your love,

I found this piece of free vector art on a free clipart site, but it didn't "translate" to Xara very well. And although there are a few superfluous control points here and there, it's overall a pretty clean reproduction and I give my version away freely here.

Now, unless you have Glaser Stencil installed, you won't get the look of the 2019 numbers. Not to worry; I used blends between copies of the characters, and to modify the numbers, say for example to "JOY!", move the blends over to a clean area, and then highlight the characters in wireframe view quality and replace them one at a time, then move them back into place.







And may all your Christmases be bright,

Love,

Gary

Thanks, Gare. I downloaded that and pulled it all apart. Nicely done and very effective. Cheers.

I feel this composition really belongs to my Xara work, rather than non-work (?), because creating and rendering the cups and mugs were idiot's work—I can attest to that—while designing the labels in Xara took much more time.

Cheers, guys, have a Colonial cuppa.
