In Mara Heuer’s holiday menagerie, the casting choices get playfully unexpected. A sly yellow critter and a cheerfully off model Ninja Turtle don matching Santa hats, floating in a haze of lavender brushstrokes. Pencil and acrylic sit in loose, scratchy layers, giving both figures the look of half remembered toys summoned from the deep archives of childhood. It’s a celebration of the season’s stranger personalities, the ones who show up uninvited and drink the mulled wine dry.

From the people who send them
The handwriting doesn't look printed. My mom asked if I'd written it myself. I said yes.
— Blake, LA
Arrived in four days. I'd braced for longer.
— Ian, Chicago
Sent it to a friend I hadn't seen since college. He sent me a photo of it on his side table a week later.
— Dave, Philly
My wife sent it to me on a random Tuesday. No occasion. That was the point.
— Eddie, Tampa
Kept it on my shelf next to my books. Doesn't look out of place. That's the highest compliment I can give a card.
Chelsey, New York
My little brother graduated in May. I live across the country. This was the closest I could get to being there.
— Jared, Chicago
Put one in every welcome bag for a networking event I hosted. Got emails afterward asking how I'd handwritten them all. I told them my secret.
- Carly, Ft. Lauderdale
