Origin Story

Twas the night before Christmas, and I didn’t have my presents wrapped! All stores were closed, and I thought, oh crap! 

But I'm a painter, gosh darnit. 

So, maybe I can DIY it. 

I had some leftover paper from sketching, so I turned them over and started experimenting. 

Stripes, drips, stamps, dabs, stipples. 

Soon I had some paper that I could wrap presents with. 

I was apprehensive. Would they like it? They loved it! 

Gee wiz… 

And what to my wondering eyes should appear? 

On Christmas morning, my family did not rip the wrapping paper apart and throw it away like all those other years. 

No, they unwrapped carefully, unfolded the paper, and folded it back to save it as part of other gifts for years after that.
