Zander of the clean up crew

Zander and his crew get called in after the holiday craze passes. There's A LOT of mess to sort out after the holidays!

The sleigh packers - Ginny

"Ginny" is often bringing up the rear of the rush to pack the sleigh full of gifts. She's gotten really skilled at catching rogue presents flying through the air.

The sleigh packers - Gigi

"Gigi" is also apart of the sleigh packing crew. She's a bit short and doesn't always notice when projectiles come flying her way until it's too late....

The sleigh packers - Giselle

"Giselle" helps load up the sleigh before Santa goes out on Christmas Eve. It's such a hectic time that sometimes accidents happen.... looks like one of the presents has fallen off the stack....

Some holiday commission work

It was my pleasure to be commissioned to create some special elf characters for a very good client and friend. He had some family members in several medical fields that each received an elf to match their respective fields: anesthesiology, dentistry and nursing.

Let's all sing "Jingle Bells" along with "Groot"

"Groot" here is a character from "The Guardians of the Galaxy" that showed in theaters earlier this year. For those who haven't seen the movie, Groot is one of the main characters in the story. He's a large walking tree alien of sorts that can only say "I am Groot". Whether he's agreeing, laughing or stomping mad, he'll still only say "I am Groot". In the movie, he was badly hurt and had to start again from a sapling in a flower pot. Currently, he's growing well in that pot according to the movie.

Toby the bell shiner

Toby is the bell shiner at the North Pole and there are PLENTY of bells to shine!

Snowball fight with Cassandra

Somebody must help keep up the air of fun and whimsy around the North Pole. Cassandra's task is to instigate snowball fights all in good fun :)

Chaz; the fix-it-all elf

Chaz dashes about fixing this or tweaking that on the assorted machines at the North Pole. There's always something needing his help!

Mathilda, the master quilter

Mathilda is in charge of sewing special quilts filled with love and cheer. She may look elderly but she's still considered "young" as far as elves go.

Claire of the garlands division

Flashy and fashionable; Claire is the mistress pf garlands. She can make a fabulous garland to suit any theme on any tree!

Sierra; caregiver of the firs

Sierra roams through the forests of firs, taking care of the trees large and small. Even the tiniest sapling is of great importance!

Stan and Lance of the ornaments department

"Stan" is on the top and "Lance" is on the bottom. These twin brothers create ornaments full of color and holiday magic!

Chocolat, server of endless cocoa

Living in the North Pole means lost of elves wanting hot drinks. "Chocolat" brews the best hot chocolate on Earth and she even customizes every drink to each elf's tastes!

Art, colorist of the elves

Arthur, aka Art, does all of the painting and any other job that demands color. His fellow elves always wonder how it is he never gets paint on himself.

Holly's basket of cheer

"Holly" grows the healthiest and brightest holly bushes in the whole North Pole. She loves to scurry about pinning up sprigs of holly to encourage cheer and romance!

Noelle, the dreamer

Noelle is the creative mind behind all of those visions of sugarplums dancing in your head. Her job is to create sweet dreams!

Stretch, clothing department test dummy

Stretch is the tallest of the elf bunch measuring at 3 feet tall. The clothing department elves try all clothes on him since he is the closest to human child size.

Gizmo, the planner

"Gizmo" hails from the logistics department. All plans must have his OK on it.

Kara, the reindeer handler

Somebody has to keep the reindeer clean cut, in good spirits and well fed! Kara is the right elf for the job.

Lift off!

"Chuck" is an inventor and tester of those inventions. Working with the magic division, Chuck and his team came up with the formula for reindeer flight!

Tinkerbell the boxer

I tried something new today and did an "art trade" with a fellow artist on deviantart.com. He requested a sketch of Disney's Tinkerbell as a boxer. He also requested this specific pose. This was fun to sketch :)

Holiday distress

It never fails; every year some unlucky elf gets too wrapped up in their work. "Jordy" is the lucky victim this year!

Hail to the "Chief"!

This guy happens to be of shorter stature than your typical elf. Chief measures up at 1 foot, 8 inches while his fellow elves measure at least 2 feet in height. Don't let his tiny cuteness fool you as he is the mission director of the North Pole! Nothing happens without this guy.

"Handy" from the carpentry department

If it must be built with wood, Handy can build it. From toys to buildings; everyone can count on Handy!

Peppermint, the medic elf

Have an accident? Get a new bruise? "Peppermint" will patch you up right and serve you cocoa!

Quality control

"Jingle" is apart of the quality control division. Making sure all plush toys are warm and fluffy!

Cookies anyone?

This is "Sugar" from the sweets department. She's got a fresh batch of cookies for a lucky recipient!

Spruce, the garland elf

Spruce is from a faction of the decor department. He and his colleagues make sure all halls are decked with boughs of holly.

Send in the elves!

Happy December everybody! I love doing holiday inspired designs. For this month, I'll be drawing a different elf for each day of December. This is going to be fun : )

Today, it's an elf working in the candy cane department.
