Happily Ever Over, an epic tale
27 days ago
"An epic tale that explains a lot of what you never understood about holidays. An economic crisis among the magical creatures leads to crime, so Santa Claus and a police investigator must save the day!"

As a holiday gift I wanted to bring sound and motion to my Happily Ever Over drawings. They are ink, colored pencil and watercolor marker on paper. I was inspired by the book segments in LeVar Burton's wonderful Reading Rainbow.
I hope you like it. It's the first video I ever made so please forgive its shortcomings, and I hope you enjoy it with all the happiness I put into making it.

Happily Ever Over is an amazing holiday epic. Subtitled "How Santa Saved The World Then Lost It All", the story is billed as a 'never before recalled history of something no one remembers anymore.' I'm a big fan of fairy tales, mythology, and Christmas. This story winds them all together with a sense of whimsy.
Written and illustrated by CMerry during a period of illness, the story has only previously been published in hand-made collages, as gifts for friends. The illustrations are marvelous. Let's be grateful that CMerry has shared this lovely story with us...
