Happy Holidays 2018

I saw this Santa doll on a skateboard (with ski poles) at a Holliday x-mas party. which after 9 years, finally explains this weird looking thing.

I couldn’t find any information on the illustrator L. Vernet when I wrote this post (in April of 2016…). Yes, you can find tons of examples of his artwork, mostly on postcards, but nobody seems to know/care who he/she was. The illustrations must have been done in the 60’s or 70’s.
