Sid Skiing Christmas Card
Image
Composite of two images: one a photograph of a rock, the other a cutout photograph of Sid on skis. The image is depicting Sid flying through the air on snow skis, which have run into a huge rock. The tips of the skis have broken off and parts of the rock are falling off in pieces. Sid is chewing on his signature cigar and is holding a ski pole up in the air. Marks drawn onto the image portray speed.
Boyum, Sid, 1914-1991
