Our hos­pi­tal is the largest pri­vate employer in the county with a staff of around 1300. That’s a lot of peo­ple — and a lot of families.

Each year we have a super­vised gath­er­ing of staff kids so the adults can spend some time doing Christmas gift shop­ping. There are games, treats and so on, and par­ents get the chance to scoop up good­ies with­out worry of being spied on or pestered to death.

For the flyer pro­mot­ing the gath­er­ing this year I decided cli­part just wasn’t going to do it, and fell back on pen­cil, ink and Illustrator. The results fol­low the fold. (This is just the graph­i­cal por­tion of the flyer; the info on where, when and so on I left off.)

I named the kids Dot and Lionel.

Poor Lionel. The only decent photo of him is the one in the Darth Vader suit.
