He doesn&#8217;t have a glowing red nose (presumably\u00c2\u00a0radioactive) like his brother, so he wears them sneakers with flashing red lights we all had as kids. At the beginning he was a nameless reindeer who walked on all fours and was kinda grumpy looking. He then evolved into &#8220;Chad&#8221;, sported Ray-Bans and longed to be as cool as Rudolph. But in the end, I steered him towards something more aloof and silly\u00e2\u20ac\u201da reflection of the good times that lay ahead in the xmas break.<\/p>\n<p>I couldn&#8217;t afford to get them printed on nicely textured card. So I had the illustration printed on semi-nice paper, then slotted into blank cards you can pick up from an arts and crafts store.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-1072\" title=\"20120117_xmascard2011-1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-1073\" title=\"20120117_xmascard2011-2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-3.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-1075\" title=\"20120117_xmascard2011-4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-4.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_xmascard2011-4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_Xmascard2011-5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-1076\" title=\"20120117_Xmascard2011-5\" src=\"http:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_Xmascard2011-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_Xmascard2011-5.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_Xmascard2011-5-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_Xmascard2011-6.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-1077\" title=\"20120117_Xmascard2011-6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_Xmascard2011-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_Xmascard2011-6.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_Xmascard2011-6-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-content\/uploads\/20120117_Xmascard2011-6-682x1024.jpg 682w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last time I gave Christmas cards, I was in primary school pretending to be a Power Ranger\u00e2\u20ac\u201dI was the white one with the talking sword<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1043"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1043\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.invertmethod.com\/bravo\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
