At the top of the Illustration Style image, Happy birthday

Hand-drawn illustration with fine linework and textured brush strokes, balanced composition, warm expressive color palette. A humorous historical flypast: a dashing vintage pilot with a grand curled moustache and flapping white scarf banks an open‑cockpit biplane through a golden-hour sky. Behind him, a friendly formation of classic warplanes (mix of WWI biplanes and 1940s prop fighters) cruises in neat parade—not a battle, just celebration. Instead of weapons they trail colorful streamers, confetti, and pastel smoke; cupcakes float down on tiny parachutes, and a gift-wrapped box is slung under the lead fuselage. Contrails swirl into the loose silhouette of a cake with candles, while the pilot gives a jaunty salute. Soft paper-grain texture, gentle cross-hatching on panels and rivets, warm oranges and dusty blues, playful details and clear negative space in the sky.

Small, cheeky in-image text on a trailing banner from the lead plane (one short line): “May your year have more lift than drag.”
