not a typical christmas card featuring current brainrot, but one of the most influential artists for me when i was growing up was rudolf koivu and i've wanted to emulate his style for a while....he's made a million christmas cards and this is based on one of them (i've also been wanting to draw this pink jacket somewhere)
