As I mentioned in my Happy Leyendecker Baby New Year! post from last year, master illustrator J.C. Leyendecker is responsible for initiating the tradition of representing the New Year visually as a baby.
Here are a few more of his wonderful New Years babies from the cover of The Saturday Evening Post. Their archive is here and here.
Happy New Year!

lines and colors is a blog about drawing, sketching, painting, comics, cartoons, webcomics, illustration, digital art, concept art, gallery art, artist tools and techniques, motion graphics, animation, sci-fi and fantasy illustration, paleo art, storyboards, matte painting, 3d graphics and anything else I find visually interesting. If it has lines and/or colors, it's fair game.
These are some art related web sites I designed, and am listing here to help promote them.
Personal News:
The Wilmington News Journal did a nice piece recently on my Argon Zark! online comic.

It’ll Never Be the Same Old Lang Syne
It’ll Never be the same Auld Lang Syne

the paper said that you were dead
that you had slipped away
and the snow that fell upon the pages
soon “turned into rain”
chorus:
and I realized
it would never be the Same Auld Lang Syne
and I realized
that every year
you’ll be missed
and Christmastime
December 19th
just a day
before my Starbucks show
I heard the news
and wrote this song
about the songs you sewed
your tender songs
were sewn into our hearts
and in our souls
and Auld Lang Syne
won’t be the same
without your rock n roll
and I realized
it would never be the Same Auld Lang Syne
and I realized
that every year
you’ll be missed
and Christmastime
time slips away
and so did you
you slipped away too soon
and every year at Christmastime
we’ll sing your Christmas tune
and I realized
it would never be the Same Auld Lang Syne
and I realized
that every year
you’ll be missed
and Christmastime
