Semi Cake

 For: Cole
Occasion: his birthday

Cole loves trucks, so for his birthday card this year, I drew a truck transporting a giant slice of cake with four candles stuck in it! I hope the wind doesn't blow them out before the cake can be delivered to him!

Movers Birthday

 For: Ryan
Occasion: his birthday

Ryan is a big fan of trucks and construction vehicles and things with wheels that move! To help celebrate his 4th birthday, I drew a simplified, stylized bulldozer and semi truck that are pushing "Happy" and pulling "Birthday!" 

Sprinkle Cake Birthday

 For: Bri
Occasion: her birthday

For Bri's birthday card, I drew a cake out of the most colorful sprinkles ever! I am really quite pleased with the different hues of the cake and frosting of this design. And look at that candle! Anyhow, I hope Bri has a wonderful day -- it's always a treat to catch up with her around her birthday!

Art Birthday

 For: Amy
Occasion: her birthday

Amy loves to create art, so for her birthday card this year, I created a stylized watercolor of her in profile with a paint pallet for an ear and paintbrush for glasses! Her hair reads "Listen to your art." I love this stylized design and am so glad Ames had a lovely birthday!

Movie Birthday

 For: Doug
Occasion: his birthday

To help Dougie celebrate his birthday, I created a simple illustration of a film projector showing "Happy Birthday, Doug!" on a golden (silver) screen! Doug is the biggest movie buff I know and I appreciate his recommendations. I hope Dougie has a great birthday and a year of amazing films!

Premier League Birthday

 For: O'Shea
Occasion: his birthday

For O'Shea's birthday card, I did a birthday-ed up version of a Premier League where the lion has a birthday balloon tied to his tail. I love how simultaneously stately and playful this  design is! I hope O'Shea has a wonderful day and that we all get to hang out soon!

Shape Cake Birthday

 For: Julie
Occasion: her birthday

For Julie's birthday card this year, I replicated a watercolor design of whimsical shapes that add up to an abstract birthday cake! I had fun mixing and matching colors and lines in this card, and hope Julie had even more fun celebrating her big day!

Homerun Birthday

 For: Dan
Occasion: his birthday

Dan is a big baseball fan, so for this birthday card I drew a ball that got hit so far it's out of this world! The text reads, "Hope your birthday is a HOMERUN!" I really like the scale of the ball to the Earth in this design. It was great to catch up with Dan on his birthday and I hope he enjoyed himself!

Birdie Told Me Birthday

 For: Lila
Occasion: her birthday

For Lila's birthday card, I did an illustration of a little bird on an old-style phone with purple polka dots. The text reads, "a little birdie told me... it's your birthday!" Lila is so lovely and I hope she had a wonderful day!

Mayo Birthday

 For: Uncle Brian
Occasion: his birthday

I have a distinct memory of Uncle Brian eating macaroni salad sandwiches when I was young, and so when I came across a mayo-themed birthday pun, I figured this card might do the trick! "Mayo birthday wishes come true" is the punny message. I hope Uncle Bri had a wonderful day and got to eat exactly what he wanted to celebrate!

Foam Finger Birthday

 For: Jeremy
Occasion: his birthday

For Jeremy's birthday card this year, I did an illustration of a cupcake with a "we're number one!" foam finger and party hat! Jeremy is a big sports fan, so I figured this was a lovely way to birthday-up a game day celebration. I hope Jeremy et al are doing well and have a great time celebrating!

Bear Birthday

 For: Chas
Occasion: his birthday

To help Chas celebrate his birthday, I did a collage of a bear in lots of colors and textures. Look at his sweet little face and hat! Chas is a dear friend and I hope he has a wonderful birthday and year!
