From the sketchbook of Keepsake Master Artist, Ken Crow.

The first sketch represents what I do in meetings. I usually make little sketches on 3 x 5 cards of people or things I’m thinking about. These sketches are of Keepsake Artist Robert Chad (whose mind is also wandering) and a train depot that I would like to make for my train set at home.

The second sketch is of Santa having a great time thinking about his sleigh ride and the candy and presents that he is about to deliver. I get this same feeling when I make a Christmas ornament for someone to put on their tree.

The last sketch is of Santa Clause with my dog Charlie. They are both characters that bring me a lot of happiness when I think about them. I want to be more like them.

UPDATE (10.25.18 @ 1:15 PM) – Added Robert Chad Freelancer badge to end of carousel. (shared by Robert Chad).

Robert: Ken drew this of me 34 years ago when I was a freelancer.

“I like to make little drawings almost every day to keep my creative abilities sharp. These are some of my drawings that I use to put on memos or to give to friends here at Hallmark. I find the better that I can draw, the better I can think and sculpt more creatively.”
