6:45am I had to sketch out a quick graphic image for my annual “ What to Get an Architect for Christmas ” post. A Christmas ornament seemed Christmas-y enough so I sketched it up, took a picture of it with my phone, brought it into Photoshop where I added some color, and then *BOOM* … the graphic was created.
