I always enjoyed creating birthday and holiday cards for my friends and family, and must have made hundreds of them over the years.

I often used colored pencils, water colors, or felt-tip pens on thick paper, but in the early 2000's I began using computers and ink-jet printers to create the cards.

Around 2018, after I began to spend less time on commercial projects, I started creating birthday and holiday video animations, as well, along with the printed paper cards.

Included below are some examples of CG birthday and holiday cards and animations.

The piano piece in many of the birthday animations is "Cumpleaños Feliz" by CarlosCarty, (freesound.org).
