"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

2020 Advent Calendar [20] – Shannon Murphy

You can find Shannon Murphy on Instagram under the Made By Shannon brand, which is also her website, while her Etsy shop is here. I like her Christmas work because it’s minimal and ironic, described as “Beautifully rude” and I would say it’s perfect for this weird, strange year. For instance, you might want to check the I know you don’t give a shit about Christmas but I thought I would send you a card anyway. Or one of the interactive cards along the same line. Or some of the minimal ones. On her shop there’s also phisical decorations.

I warned you I would try and do a sort of Advent Calendar recommending you an indipendent artist and illustrator each day till Christmas. I’d like to take a moment to celebrate the fact that it’s December, 20th and apparently I haven’t screwed this up.l
