One last favorite Christmas card I drew for Local Kine Cards by Maile Way Products - Snowman in a shave ice store. This was another fun piece! I usually use this card as an example when I do career day talks at schools showing the step-by-step procedure of this design: from the idea stage to the actual card.•Tomorrow is Christmas so I have a couple more favorite Christmas images I’ve done over the years (Altho there’s a lot more I could share...) Stay tuned... :) #jonjmurakami #greetingcards #greetingcarddesign #mailewayproducts #localkinecards #hawaii #conventioncenter #snowman #christmas #christmascard #comic #cartoon #shaveice https://www.instagram.com/p/CJNp0XVjKtd/?igshid=1bhnh6ncmgqno

This is my favorite Christmas card I drew for Local Kine Cards by Maile Way Products - The Hawaii Snowman Convention.! This idea was a little twisted, but people liked it and it sold well :) This is at the @hawaiiconventioncenter in Honolulu - I honestly miss all the comic and anime cons we have throughout the year and hoping that we can have them again in 2021! :) More soon! #jonjmurakami #greetingcards #greetingcarddesign #mailewayproducts #localkinecards #hawaii #conventioncenter #snowman #christmas #christmascard #comic #cartoon https://www.instagram.com/p/CJNEA_Cjv4W/?igshid=1ii4gdupuznzz

One of the Christmas cards we made when Local Kine Cards - Maile Way Products first started back in 1997... (currently it is retired...) How many people had problems with Christmas lights not all lighting up and having to change each bulb to find which is the faulty one in the string. I thought this "I'm an ape" card was funny, but the sales said otherwise ^_^; Still, this was a fun card that I enjoyed drawing 🙂 #jonjmurakami #greetingcards #Christmas #christmascards #localkinecards #mailewayproducts #comic #cartoon #christmaslights #merrychristmasandhappynewyear https://www.instagram.com/p/CJM1BmyjESE/?igshid=1xekcm2smb639

Whoo- 21 years ago Maile Way Products was formed and we made the "Local Kine Cards" you see in the stores. We have fun making them and we put a lot of work into them. Looking back at this one, I still used my 0.3 Copic marker and scanned it into the computer using the beginning of the flat bed scanners (I think it cost $500 back then- before it was the hand held scanners or the 3 pass scanners). Would be fun to redraw this card 20 years later as now I work straight in the computer and do more "cel shading" to see the difference ^_^ • Thank you all for the support through the years... Hundreds of cards and thousands of ideas later we're still happy to still be making these greeting cards and bringing smiles to people's faces ^_^ #localkinecards #jonjmurakami #mailewayproducts #graduationcard #hawaii #madeinhawaii
