Eggcellent Dad - Father's Day Card

These quirky ‘Eggcellent Dad’ greeting cards for dad have been hand illustrated using fine liner pens, digitally coloured, and printed in Melbourne by The Nonsense Maker. The highly detailed drawing portrays a red frypan with two sunny side eggs and bacon being cooked inside. The hand-written font below the frypan says “Thanks for all your EGGcellent dad jokes”. Inspired by a dreamlike world where little is what it seems, these cards for dad have a dark colour palette, using bold red, grey, black and a hint of white and yellow.

The Nonsense Maker’s ‘Eggcellent Dad’ Father's Day card is sustainably hand made in Melbourne using all Australian suppliers.

Beginning with a pencil sketch before moving to pen, a method called crosshatching is used to create the depth and the tone you see in the final design. This fine line art is then scanned into a computer and coloured digitally. All our Father's Day cards are ethically printed on high quality recycled paper, and our envelopes are 100% recycled.

The Nonsense Maker’s unique Father's Day card designs are imagined from a fun and whimsical world where dreaming meets reality. Sometimes silly and sometimes sad, inspired by etching techniques used by old time illustrators. While The Nonsense Maker’s art prints often have finer details, the Father's Day cards and quirky stationery are usually an easy cheerful expression designed to bring a smile to your face.
