Hand-drawn illustration with fine linework and textured brush strokes; warm, expressive palette (whisky ambers, brick reds, mustard yellows, teal and rainy slate blues). Balanced composition: center foreground, a cheerful Mancunian man in rolled-up sleeves and socks kneels on a patterned rug, mid-chaos assembling flat‑pack furniture. An Allen key is tucked behind his ear, the instruction sheet is upside down, and a mysterious “extra” plank labeled “Z?!” leans nearby. A small party hat sits askew on his head; screws scatter like confetti. He holds a tumbler of whisky (rich amber glow, a couple of ice cubes) beside a politely judgmental bottle marked “Single Malt.”

Left background: a big window with raindrops and the Manchester skyline—red-brick mills, a tram gliding past, and the tall Beetham Tower—under a soft drizzle. A little worker‑bee sticker on a toolbox nods to the city. Warm lamplight from a floor lamp contrasts the cool rainy light outside, giving the scene a cozy, celebratory feel. Subtle paper grain, ink bleeds, and stippled shading for texture; gentle vignette to keep focus on the man and his wobbly, half-built shelf.

Include small hand-lettered text, like a sticky note taped to a plank:

“Happy Birthday — some assembly (and whisky) required.”
