HULA DANCERS
Since Keith and I both grew-up in Wisconsin, we are loyal Packer fans and acclimated to cold weather. Consequently, the topic for this card was a natural fit!
Most times, before Keith draws the cards, he will take some reference photos to get the shadows right, to see how fabric folds, to capture an expression, etc. Yes! We have photos of both Keith and me holding these exact poses while wearing our real life red union suits.
The sleigh not only serves as a stand for our tailgate-worthy Weber Grill, but the side of the sleigh is where we put each card recipient’s name. When we space the size of the lettering, we always use the Apfelbeck’s name. Once we make Apfelbeck Flyer fit the space, we know all the other shorter names will work also.
