My uncle Christy is one of the greatest pranksters I have ever had the pleasure of being pranked by.

He once left me on the roof of his house when I

was little playing hide and go seek with him

and my sisters. When Christy is at home you can

be sure you won't find your car keys or that something has been smuggled in your shoe.

A genius of the messer trade.

 

To honour this and the great man he is I wanted to give him a simple gift. A card with some cash in it. I made a cardboard card and inside a woodcut illustration of one of his all time heros. A hero for a hero.
