Wannabe Cockatoo Postcard

I fell in love with these postcards the moment I saw them: Equal parts ethereal and irreverent, they’re super-sturdy, printed on recycled paper, and so streamlined in design that it’s pretty soothing just to look at them.

30×40 is a one-woman operation, with a mix of designs featuring a smorgasbord of birds, sea creatures, land animals, jungle scenes, and more. The designs are mashed up from a variety of botanical and zoological source material, crowned with silly nonsequitous titles, and printed on FSC-certified paper that’s super-sturdy (450gsm) and coated on both sides. The backs feature a border (slightly offset by design) matching the background color of the card, plenty of white space for writing, and a 30×40 logo in one corner.

From the artist: “Good illustrations are like good songs – they just never get old. They should bring joy, enhance your home and always inspire. This is what we stand for. Every product is printed proudly on fully recycled paper. We care for our climate and earth, which means no tree is cut down for the production of our products.”
