Metro Elves

(I've gotten a lot of encouragement to repost this....so here are they are....Happy Holidays!
oh, these are photographs that I actually painted on...wish you could see the originals, which look way cooler in person than anything photoshop or digital manipulation could do.
)

I just found my "photographs" of the Elves that annually moved into
the local gallery/art supply shop...

MetropolitanArt, which, sadly, no long is.Elf tries to save time


(special photographs of actual Elves in Santa's Dodgeville workshop, made by Linda Kelen)

I painted a sign for the gallery-art supply store, which said, "Elves Shop Here"....
and to PROVE it....(because some "town people" were not believers)
I made these pictures.

No one said another word.

"Jeb is pleased to see Elves use white gloves...leaving no finger prints on paper."
Elves wear gloves

"These elves lost their shopping list...."
Some Elves are forgetful


"Elves love cookies."
Elves love cookies
"Mega, (studio dog)........................................Metro Elf rides Studio Dogis a handy mode of transportation."
"Some Elves are too short."

"After a successful shopping spree...
Elves carry the last of their supplies out to the sleigh....(parked around the corner)."
