Cartoon Christmas Card Illustration

I’m sending out my own Christmas cards this year and I need a single-panel, line-art cartoon to carry the joke. Picture a cosy lounge: an empty, open box on the floor; two adults bent over it with distinctly curious looks; and, just disappearing up the chimney, the last booted foot of Father Christmas. No other clutter—clean outlines, light on detail, plenty of white space.

Style: simple black or dark-ink outline in a classic newspaper-style cartoon. No colour fills or shading; the humour has to sit in the composition itself.

Caption (to be printed beneath the drawing, not lettered by you) will read:

Think outside the box
Merry Christmas

Deliverable
• Print-ready PNG or PDF at 300 dpi (A6 card size) plus the layered source file (AI, PSD or SVG) in case the printer needs tweaks.

I’ll approve the piece once:
• The adults’ expressions clearly read as curious.
• Only Father Christmas’s foot and a hint of red trouser leg are visible.
• Lines are crisp enough to reproduce cleanly at small sizes.

If you can show a quick rough before inking, even better—saves us both time.
