I started creating bespoke birthday cards for friends a few months back as it occurred to me how utterly uncreative and increasingly expensive buying them from Paperchase was – especially as I have an inability to go into a Paperchase without purchasing 5 new notebooks at a time. I wanted to create something a little bit special, so started to do personal portraits of my friends all in a illustration style that I wanted to develop further, and before long got my first commission. This is the first round from my bespoke card creations.
