In 2007 I created this Christmas card for my fellow Myspace pals and emailed it around to approximately 100 friends and business associates or so:

Merry X-mas 2007

What a coincidence! I ran across brilliant artist Richard Gaines blog and came across his 2008 Christmas card:

I'm not saying he ripped my idea off, after all a reindeer using santa as his bitch is a pretty general twist on a timely tradition, that is meant to trigger humor. I just wanted to say how sometimes great minds will think alike and come across the same/similar conclusion. Our compositions are really close too! All I gotta say is hats off to you Richard, great to know how certain folks can share the same sense of humor!

Sean, thanks so much for the timely promotion. April Fool's Day!!! :)

No, I wouldn't rip people off unless I initially asked for their permission. I did like your card though!

Kudos to you and I will add you as a link. Take care, bro!

Actually this wasn't an April Fool's Day gag Richard, just bad timing. I created this card over a year before yours was released, although I never suggested you ripping it off. Just a mere coincidence and nothing more as suggested on the blog. Hope things go well.
