LOL, wonder what Hakase will think about some of his clothes and a pair of glasses being missing! Thanks so much, it's very sweet and I can see them doing this every single year.

Oh, I like this! The hair on the snowman is just too perfect! Hehehe. Good use of color too, very clear, like a real winter's day.

How cute - makes you wonder which one of them came up with the idea

Oh, this is adorable! Great details and ...is this a painting? I love the textures and colors in it. I can totally see this happening!

Too funny! The only thing this picture needs is a thought bubble caption from ken... although I have no idea what it would say!

I think Ken's thinking "Next year we snag one of his suit jackets." Or maybe "Too bad we don't have a big fuzzy caterpillar for a mustache."

I'm wondering who's idea it was to dress the snowman as Nambu/Anderson, and who dared to pinch his clothes and glasses!

Why do I picture Ken thinking "he's much less intimidating at this height"?

Lovely to see the two tough guys playing like little boys Jajajajaja This is indeed a really nice present!

I'd recommend the ruby tiger moth caterpillar for this. All fuzzy and brown.

Santa apparently said that this might be watercolour paints combined with gauche, watercolour pencils and fineliners. Maybe.

Santa has mad skillz.

Tell Santa that "the artist who shall not be named" did a really nice job with all of those mediums!

methinks Victoria has given herself away!

No, that's wrong. You only need to look at it and you know. Sky like this can only be done with watercolours and clouds with gauche. It's just like one can distinguish Photoshop from traditional art. It only takes one good look. Really. It wasn't me. Definitely. Nu-uh. (and according to my beliefs, this is a present from the Holy Infant, so yeah - miracles do happen. Have a blessed Christmas, everyone. Peace be with you.)

I was leaning more toward Mylari...

It actually shows how much Ken and Joe think of Hakase - we only mimic what we love or like.

I'm still dying to know who did this one. Was it really you, Victoria? Or was it someone else? Someone fess up!

you'll know soon enough!

Beautiful work -I'd never have thought that Nambu would make such a good snowman inspiration! Nice touch too, that they've got coffees with them (I can relate!)

Who says Nambu/Anderson didn't 'accidentally' leave a pair of glasses and a jacket for them to filch?

Victoria, in case you check back in on this thread and didn't see this elsewhere, I really loved my gift. Thank you so much.
