Large tree and billboard stating „Forum“ Christmas Card

In this whimsical Christmas card illustration, the scene is set in a quaint, snow-blanketed village reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting, with a touch of Quentin Blake's lively characters. Dominating the scene is an enormous, elaborately decorated Christmas tree that stands majestically in the town square. This tree is adorned with twinkling lights, vibrant ornaments, and strands of golden tinsel that catch the light like icicles on a frosty morning. Atop the tree, instead of a star, perches a cheeky cartoonish angel, styled with a hint of Edward Gorey's humor, who is playfully dangling a sign reading, "Merry Christmas, Toddi, Ralle, Mitch, Lindener, Olli, Hendrik!"

Adjacent to the tree is a grandiose billboard, designed in the ornate style of an Aubrey Beardsley illustration, with intricate black-and-white linework framing a vibrant color image of a festive market scene. The billboard itself is emblazoned with the word “Forum” in bold, vintage-style lettering reminiscent of an old-timey circus poster. Below this grand sign, a gathering of animated characters reminiscent of Maurice Sendak’s creatures are joyously involved in holiday activities—some are ice skating, others are building a snowman who holds a sign that humorously misreads, "Frohes Fest!" due to a few mischievously misplaced letters.

In the foreground, a group of children dressed in Victorian-era clothes, with N.C. Wyeth-style attention to detail, are playing with a toboggan, their laughter seemingly echoing through the scene. Above, the sky is a rich Maxfield Parrish-inspired gradient of purples and blues, where a trail of puffy clouds spell out the names "Toddi, Ralle, Mitch, Lindener, Olli, Hendrik" as if scrawled by a mischievous North Wind. The scene is dotted with quaint thatched-roof houses and a few jolly figures carrying wrapped gifts, painted in the charming style of Beatrix Potter’s animal characters, creating a rich tapestry of holiday cheer and storytelling.
