This funny birthday card for an ageing friend or relative features hand-drawn lettering on a soft pastel background. The message reads, "Happy Adult Birthday" followed by "I got you this high contrast menu with adequate lighting" and a humorous illustration of a high-contrast menu lit by a desk lamp.
The simple illustration style and gentle colour palette make this a charming choice for someone who appreciates a little gentle ribbing about their ageing eyes! It is especially suited to an adult birthday celebration with a silent plea for more readable menus for the older generation!
Comparison price excludes free shipping to the US, UK, Canada, Australia and most of Europe.
I've been drawing weirdness with pencils and crayons since the days of Tony Hart - only really old people will get this reference. After graduating from Loughborough University in 2000 (see the 'old' part) with a first-class degree in illustration, I did what every creative does and went straight into minimum-wage retail work. I worked in lots of greeting card shops, and the designs on the cards inspired me to create a humorous and contemporary collection of designs, specifically for the people who don't want to see 100 identical capybara cards, and also for those who are physically sick at the thought of puns.
I've been creating weird cards since 2017, and there's still no stopping me. I live in Nottingham with my partner, Ben, and our three cats, Edna, Ozzy, and Olive. I love eating and not leaving the house. Through grit, talent, and dogged determination, I went from earning the minimum-wage to earning half the minimum wage in 12 years. I'm hoping my inspirational story might help steer someone from illustration to, I dunno, maybe plumbing?
