Originally Posted By chickendumpling Great card! What talent, I'll tell you what! And, ohmigosh but I loved those outtakes! The one with the Ornament saying, "I just don't know how festive I can be year after year, Angela" made me snort with laughter! And the one with the partridge and the pear tree. ROFL! I am serious when I say I would buy these. When you're ready for more customers, 2oony, please let me know. Thanks for sharing, guys!

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan Thanks again, Jim! I liked the "out there" ones so much that Jim wrote. Especially the partridge in a pear tree and the ornament talking to the HR director. But as mentioned on his site, in the end the main purpose of these cards is to create something that is specific to the industry, and to also make sure people get that these are custom to showbizjobs.com. The recurring "hidden Mickey" of these cards is the showbizjobs.com water tower and soundstage icons. Several years ago, Jim asked me to sketch a cartoony version of a little movie studio that would be made into a three-dimensional "bobble-head" that would be given to their clients. It was the first time I'd ever created something in this way, and the finished product was amazing. It had a slot to hold business cards on one side, and a little tray for paperclips or mints on the other, so it was functional as well as a desktop conversation piece. So, each year somewhere we try to figure out how to pop in the "bobble tower" someplace.

FWIW, my favorites are: 1) This year's. "Where do you see yourself in five years?" To SANTA! LOL! 2) 2002. "But what I really want to do is direct." 3) The Ornament. Poor guy. Poor Angela. 4) "It's not a tattoo ... it's a brand." LOL! You two are a wonderful collaborative team. Thank you for sharing, Jim! It was really enjoyable to look at those cards(again), and also to get the inside scoop on how the cards are created!
