One of the most enjoyable projects in which I partake is the yearly Dempsay Binder holiday card. The card started out as a simple, interesting image sent off to friends, and over time evolved to include much more elaborately executed Photoshop designs.
The Dempsay Binder yearly holiday card has become some sort of cult icon with my family and friends. It is getting increasingly difficult to come up with an idea that will top the previous year’s card, and I’m always threatening to retire.
