New Look for Santa
Here is an illustration I created to accompany an editorial piece about the positive and negative effects that New Years resolutions can have on a person. The article contrasted the pressure an individual may feel trying to meet the expectations they’ve set for themselves versus the beneficial effects these changes may have if they are able to stick to them.
The piece identified multiple pros and cons regarding New Years resolutions but but that ultimately, the impact the resolution has depends entirely on the personality of the individual that set it.
To accompany the piece, I thought I’d have a bit of fun with a streamlined Santa Claus who’s resolution was clearly to get in shape for the new year. Obviously he was successful as he has a slender new physique to show for it. Much healthier!
