"Cautious Optimism" The 2012 New Years Card

A belated posting of this year's New Years card.  Letterpress printed by yours truly on a Chandler & Price platen press at the International Printing Museum.  The image was drawn in pen and ink, scanned, and etched into a magnesium plate for printing.  Part of my "Cautious Optimism" series of cards, it responds to the unrest of the past year while hoping that we can, you know, all just get along.  Of course, I couldn't help a bit of sarcasm - I'd rather it isn't shopping that brings us together, but hey, its better than nothing...

Downloaded the CS6 Beta and have been using it for daily work, so thought I'd try something a bit more figurative with it.  No photo reference, just my brain.  It started as a larger drawing that got cropped down as I worked.
