The brief

Orbit Paper wanted cards for the birthdays that end in a zero.

What I did

Every card is a set of orbits, one ring per decade, with tiny moments from a life drawn along each ring.

What happened

The range now sells all year. People write their messages around the rings, which is better than anything I drew.
