The Poorhouse would like to wish all you lovely readers a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. So much so, that there's a special flash Christmas card for you to view. For those of you who don't celebrate Christmas in any shape or form, please enjoy the holiday season nontheless. For anyone who doesn't have holidays, erm, get a new job.
The Poorhouse is traversing the country a little for the holidays so articles might (or might not) be a bit sparse in the next week or so. Fear not, normal service will be resumed whatever in 2007.
Credit where credit's due: of course the Poorhouse couldn't make something so spiffy as the Flash card itself - rather it was actually created pro bono by the delightful Tess of portfolio fame, where amongst other things you can find out what it is that gives her "a lot of pleasure". So why not give her a nice easy but high paid career so she can do more free things for me?
Trivia: what the Poorhouse wants but won't get for a Christmas present this year: a Nintendo Wii. Baaaaaa.

Yay, fame!!
Hooray, my work is global! Sorry for not being more pc and having a non-denominational, innocuous message like 'season's greetings' though. Guess all that Santa brainwashing in my misspent youth has closed me off to other ways of life...new year's resolution: will try to consider EVERYBODY before committing anything to screen or paper. This may make me a slower worker, but I'm sure the new employer will consider it worth their while in the end...oh god, back to work tomorrow....
And was that dig about holidays aimed at me Adam?? How low, I was only between employers for a couple of weeks!
Global is right. Not 100%
Global is right. Not 100% reliable but passable stats indicate that at the end of December a good 68 (yes, sixty eight! You'd need FOURTEEN hands to count that high!) people downloaded your very kind artwork. 10 people thought it so mindblowing that they apparently clicked away from the whole site immediately. You may only have got 50 or so job offers as a result though I know, the web is full of idle browsers...
Hey, why be innocuous? You - and I of course mean "you" in the most generic way - can be slow and offensive simultaneously, don't you worry. And no, I am not calling you out for telling your employer where to shove their "ornamental designs" - I admire that trait.
(Good luck with the new one, I'll be sending you some email imminently.)
