I absolutely love Santa images for the holidays so I have decided to release a new Shack Santa for 2007.

I have a few different artists working on the Santas and I'm going to ask for your opinions!

Here are the first two samples. I will post more as they come in.

OOOOH, I love the second one. They are both wonderful but the second one looks more vintage-like.

oh my goodness! Fantastic images. I am partial to the first one because it looks like a wood cut, but you can't go wrong with either one.

I vote for #2....is that image of his eyes going to be in the background, or is that just because it is for viewing only?

#2 for me. However, I wouldn't be disappointed with #1 either. But my first pick would be #2. He has such a softness and sweetness about him.

I like #2 the best. The first one looks kind of scary to me.

I agree with Tami, #1 looks like a woodcut. #2 is more vintage-looking and more color-able to me. I choose #2, but I wouldn't be sad with either one. I love santas, too.

Wow Sherry. They are both fabulous.

Christie

#2 for me!! I didn't buy one last year so this year I'm getting one!!! I love him! I really really like him!!

Christine, last year Sherry made up 100 Santas and if you look in the gallery you should be able to find all the cards we made with him. He was the NEATEST Santa I had ever seen!!! They sold out so fast too.

Updated with another image

Christie

I think I still like the second one best!

Swanie78
06-14-2007, 01:33 PM
Cool!
Of all of them I like the 3rd one best. I like the idea of the second one (the image on a blown up image) but something about that santa scares me. Id be afraid he'd rob my house instead of bring me presents ;)
I bought last years off of Sally. At this point Id probably just stick to that one.

I still like #2 the best. #3 is a nice face but it doesn't say Santa to me. It just looks like a pleasant face of someone.

So much for my two cents.

mcourtney

Sorry. But I'm not warming up to any of them so far. I guess I envision Santa as being Jolly, Happy, magical and I'm not getting that vibe. I guess I'm the grinch this year.

When I showed my DH #2 photo, he said he wasn't jolly to him... that's his first impression of him so I thought I would just throw that out there too.

hard choice. At this point I love number 1 2 and 3....no help cause I like them all...have to choose one then it would have to be 3.

tesschap
06-14-2007, 03:47 PM
#2 is still my first choice.

06-14-2007, 03:57 PM
I'm still going with #2 as my favorite.

Sherry
06-14-2007, 04:47 PM
To be totally honest, I'm not feeling any of them either. It's soooo hard to get across to these artists exactly what I'm looking for. I guess what I see and they see are two totally different things.

Perhaps we'll get more images.

Erin K

my favorite in style is number 2 but he looks a little less friendly than I think Santa should. The artwork on that one is my fave though. I like the detail in his eyes a lot.

shuggy
06-14-2007, 06:04 PM
i hate to say it, but i'm not in love with any of them!! #3 looks kinda like last year's santa.

am i rotten?

I vote for #2..very vintage

Sherry
06-14-2007, 06:40 PM
added a new santa to the mix - pic #4...the artist told me that he could re-work it so that santa is smiling.

I love number 3.

inkinupstamps
06-14-2007, 06:56 PM
Sherry, I kind of like #4 and probably would even more with a slight smile. However, it is pretty detailed (cross hatched?) around the eye area and I am wondering how well that will translate with stamping. I found last years Santa WONDERFUL but so highly detailed with line work drawing that it was difficult to get an image that didn't just look like a lot of ink (and I was using Versafine Vintage Sepia).

So I guess that is my major concern about #4 because otherwise he has moved as my favorite, though I'd like to see a slight smile (or twinkle in his eye).

I like 4. :)

# 4 is my fave, but Like Jenifer, I'm concerned about it being hard to stamp.
Maybe I'm just not experienced enough..but these images kinda scare me.
they seem too difficult with so many fine lines.
But I know a bunch of talented ladies here at the shack will do awesome work with any of these.

I'm not jazzed about any of them (sorry!!). The first 2 are just creepy looking to me. #4 is the best of them, if he smiles.

06-14-2007, 08:50 PM
Oyyyyyyy Oyyyyy Oyyyyy...I LOVE #4. The eyes, the sketchy nature, VERY ARTSY!!! LOVE IT!!! and....I like his mouth the way it is, no need for a smile there since his moustache is doing a great job with his face!

# 4 is better but still not feeling the love. Need more jolly & magical, more kid friendly.
Sorry.

Ok now I changed my mind and I like the very first one in profile the new one. The last one is good too but it does look like last years some what. But I wouldn't be disappointed with that as I didn't get one. However I could see where those who own last year's wouldn't want that. I am so torn. But really glad to hear you are doing it again.

Far North
06-14-2007, 11:28 PM
Yes, #4 is my fav so far...but it feels too serious to me. My Santa thoughts are of a jolly, enthusiastic, with a twinkle in the eye kinda guy. #4 would be a great design for a resist technique.
Thanks for sharing!...Jan

#4 looks nice. I'd like to see more of eyes - and with a twinkle. Santa always has a twinkle in his eye.

To me, #1 looks like the actor Michael Cain in a santa suit. I don't own a santa stamp and I have to say that none of these make me want to buy them. Just my 2c. I love last years santa tho' (anyone wanna sell???)

I like 2 and 4 but they kinda look mean! I think they need to smile and #4 has a big nose!

I think I have to agree about 2 and 4 about looking at least very stern.

I say, if #4 could be more "twinkly" (eyes and smiley mouth), I'd definitely vote for him!
