You may think this is a slightly odd statement in the light of the fact Ed’s company Advocate Art has been supplying greeting card images for 15 years and holds a library of over a 100,0000 designs, but this one card has a special place in his heart - he actually features on it.
Long term Advocate artist Alec Macdonald had used a photograph of Ed and his two sons beach-combing as an example of the private commissions available from Advocate’s successful original art gallery in Wimbledon Village. Jayne Watson of Gibson Cards saw Alec’s painting and judged it perfect for their male birthday card range.
Ed is absolutely delighted, ‘I now feel that having worked behind the scenes for so long, I’m getting to take a bow front of stage at last and become a little piece of greeting card history. I hope that any Dad who receives the card will enjoy his day as much as I enjoyed that day with my family.’
