In the UK, we have seemingly all gone nuts for Highland cows. On EVERYTHING, which is how this card design came to life!
The card features a witty illustrated design featuring the phrase "Highland Cows on Everything is the New Black" in hand-drawn lettering. Beneath the text sits a stylised Highland cow, captured in a simple sketch style with warm earthy tones and long sweeping horns. The overall look is playful, contemporary and full of character.
The clean white background and minimal composition place all the emphasis on the humorous wording and charming animal illustration, making this a distinctive choice for anyone who enjoys countryside themes, Scottish motifs or light-hearted typographic art.
Price includes free postage 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?
