Some holidays you have to invent. The fourth of April is 4-4, which is enough of an excuse. This is a short animation on cream stock, atomic starbursts in pale teal, the Excelsior drawing itself in blue line before any fill arrives, then the circled four snapping into place over a yellow contrail. Everything comes out of the same two blues and one warm cream. It ends the way a greeting card ends, with the words and a signature. That is most of why I like it.
