Description
mikeerson challenged me to do a xmas surreal piece. Gotta say it was fun. My assurance to him however is that traditional cards will sell better commercially for me then a surreal christmas card.
(I know its early for xmas...but not for those of us who are creating stock for it. We start long before Halloween lol) but.....
What do U guys think...will xmas surreal sell?

This is beautiful and attractive.
It is nice. A high key image with a full range of tones. It has a nice clean look and well crafted. After this summer we could use an early Christmas.
Clever work but I prefer the normal type.
I like it its very diffrent I would buy it.
This is more you Jazzie but I agree about your sales perception. This one would only need those fingers fixing to be a seller though
Surreal will work. Especially when you represent it to the right people : )
a little early :) - fascinating scene and concept - great artwork!
Very lovely
Excellent
Looks amazing - fantastic artwork!!! Hug's Ute
Wow Jazzie, this is so wonderful. I love this, very very nice work from you, bravo my friend!!! Have a wonderful day, big higs Elke
Splendid and fantastic realization my friend.....!!!!
XCellent!!!!
I've got to hand to ya,Mikeersons Idiea Turned out Beautiful,I like it alot Jazzie!!
Very nice work. Love the fingers :)
superb work jazzie, our bud mike will love it.
Great job on this one Jazzie, you met his challenge
It's gorgeous! Personally I'd buy it, but I think you are probably right, most folks wouldn't, lol. Although with the right caption inside... "Capture all the beauty of the season" ... some might only notice the beautiful background scenes, and not the wires poking through the fingers. ;) Beautiful work, and a challenge well met.
I don't know, seems bordering on traditional more than surreal IMHO. Throw in some Mushrooms and Cannibis plants instead of Trees and you could prolly get a decent return by selling them in Head Shops. Peace
Awesome card for the right people. For me it's to early to think about Christmas.
noooooooo! it's not even Hallowe'en yet! :-))
It's very cool but I do not want to start thinking about Xmas now! Ugh... :)
And this is a masterful surreal Christmas piece of art! Just splendid!
I've always believed it is not so much 'what' you create, but 'how'.... nice work!!
The fingers are amazing! Very good!!!
Elegant, I would use this for a Holiday Greeting.
Lovely image, perfect!!!!! Hugs:)
Wonderful composition, Jazzie!!!
Very lovely work!
This is quite conventional by your standards - until you notice the skin flayed away from the fingers, of course. Very beautiful too. But I'd agree with many people here - way too early to be thinking about Christmas
