The new Shanti Claus Holiday Card ~ limited edition for 2020

Shanti Claus holiday card
Holiday card is 5 x 7
When I made the first version of this card many years ago, I was trying for a mashup of the Santa Claus character who represents Christmas with a grounded spirituality that crosses religious boundaries to arrive at a definition of GOD as LOVE. ShalOMerry was one of my most beloved cards. I let it go out of print a few years ago. This fall a customer sent me an email reminding me that I had said I would reprint it. So I started thinking about how to do that.

Since I’m using full color on this card instead of black and white with an accent color, I decided to make Shanti Claus brown. Shanti Claus is not a person; he is a spirit who represents humanity. Humanity, taken as a whole, is more brown than pink, and getting browner all the time. Shanti Claus is a cosmic guru as well as a right jolly old elf. The message of the Shanti Claus card is that God is One and God is Love. In other words, what is divine in human existence is love and interconnectedness.

My general intention going forward is to offer my art using one-at-a-time, print-on-demand systems. But to be able to offer a holiday card that people can afford to buy multiple copies of, I have to get it printed in bulk and send out orders myself. So, I made a small experimental printing of the holiday card I now call Shanti Claus.

I am offering these cards in quantities of 25, 50, and 100 cards and envelopes, for $40, $70, and $120 respectively. Shipping is free. This offer is only for domestic orders and is limited in time and quantity.

12.15.20 I have taken the link down now as it's getting close to Christmas, mail is horrendously slow for perfectly good reasons, and I don't have too many cards left. If you desperately want some cards, contact me using the form in the footer, and I'll see what I can do.

The creation
of something new
is not accomplished
by the intellect,
but by the play instinct
acting from inner necessity.
The creative mind plays
with the objects it loves.


Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.

Form follows function – that has been misunderstood.
Form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union.

~ Frank Lloyd Wright

Lamb: my name, Leo: my sign, and I like the biblical "peace"
connotation of the lion and the lamb hanging out together.

For me, Lamb & Lion signifies external and internal,
body and soul, earth and sky, or any complementary duality
in which the sum is greater than the parts.
