Vintage Christmas Puppy with Plaid & Red Bow Die-Cut Card

Like a haunted plush toy brought to life by a Victorian taxidermist on his worst day, this green-and-white checkered stuffed dog is rendered in paint strokes so aggressively casual they suggest the artist was personally offended by the concept of precision, covered head to stubby toe in visible black stitch marks as if it was recently reassembled from its own crime scene. The oversized floppy ears, rosy blush cheeks, and wide brown eyes combine to create the specific energy of a children's toy that has been watching you sleep. It clutches a small card reading 'Merry Christmas,' and sports a massive red bow at its throat — festive details clearly meant to distract you from the existential horror of a plaid Frankenstein dog delivering your holiday mail with that unhinged, lipstick-red smile.
