'Tis the season of joy and giving, and most of the people around the world are set to think up of something great to do to spread love and positivity for the holidays. Anything that spreads festivity and joy is a welcome contribution in this cruel world that we live in.

That being said, Christmas is all about everything and that includes creativity. Steve Nelson, a comedy writer and aspiring illustrator based in Brighton, UK certainly hit that category when he started a series of Christmas illustrations after the pandemic has given him a lot of spare time to whip up his hands and draw.

According to him, Christmas has been kind of weird lately, so he decided to have some fun by making a virtual advent calendar on his Instagram in the form of funny and festive illustrations. And sure enough, he delivered!

However, he quickly realized that coming up with 24 Christmas illustrations was a lot harder than he thought, so most of his works were actually a product of last-minute drawing sessions just to catch up with the schedule. Finishing the drawings was extremely stressful for him, but in the end, he managed to come up with excellent works.

Nelson is actually the creator of the Audible Originals' comedy series called The Temp, and he was also a part of BBC 2's Watson And Oliver, ITV's Off Their Rockers, BBC Radio 4 Extra's Newsjack, and BBC Radio 4's The Show What you Wrote. He has also co-starred in his own sitcom in Unforeseen Circumstances' pilot episode in BBC Radio Comedy.

He says he has always loved drawing, so he decided to translate his comedy into illustrations for a change, in contrast with his writing stints. Even with his strong credentials, he got fed up with writing and writing, so he wanted to try drawing as a medium for his jokes instead.

Now, without further ado, check out his works below!
