I have a confession to make – I am a V-Day hater. Alas, I thought these creepy weirdo-rama Valentine’s Day cards were too funny and summed up just how I feel about this ridiculous and over-commercialised stupid day. Besides, what is more romantic that admitting to your loved one you have a special shrine in your undies dedicate just to them. No amount of over-priced long-stemmed red roses can top that shit.
These genius cards are the work of Hubbawelcome – East-London based art collective formed in 2009 by Australian-born long term collaborators Chris Mundy and Greg Lockhart. Greg is an award-winning commercial illustrator, most recently recognised for his work in the MAYOR OF LONDON “Save the Bees” ad campaign, while Chris is an art director at M&C SAATCHI in London. Their work is inspired by “online culture and the psychology of growing up in the information age”.
