Christmas Surfer-new release at ds4j
What a refreshing change to some of the Christmas images about, here is a funny one for sure! Christmas surfer, we must not lose sight of the fact that Margy, our talented ds4j artist is from South Africa, and after living in the southern hemisphere myself, I remember that Christmas is so very different in the warm sunshine. As I am shivering writing this, I kinda wish for some of that hot sun myself.
