Wes Montgomery smoking a candy cane
For this year’s chrismtmas card I replaced the classic cigarette with the iconic candy cane.
I added the green strip, matched black and white points, extended the shadow and added back in the grain and halftone pattern, leaving the smoke as a hint to what was originally there.
Each year I make a Christmas jazz related card. This year’s features Coleman Hawkins sporting a special tie in 1958. Thanks to Lee Tanner for the original. See the wishing page.
Each year I send out a mass Christmas jazz related card. This year’s features Charles Flores with a santa hat. See the wishing page. See Charles without the hat (Photo Credit: Sussman Photography).
