Twins 18th Birthday

I have made birthday cards for twins Amitai and Gavriel many times over the years, the last time being in 2021, when they turned 15. In October they turned 18 and once again their mum asked me to make each young man a special card to mark their big day.
Amitai enjoys spending time in the gym, where he builds up his strength and muscle with dumbbells and barbells. He plays FIFA on his Xbox, and goes to כושר קרבי, or combat fitness, a pre-army physical fitness class. He is also a big Spurs supporter.
Amitai's mum told me that he has a mullet haircut, a style that first became popular in the 80s and has once again come back into fashion!
His birthday card shows him working out, the latest FIFA game, the cockerel and ball emblem of Spurs, and the fitness class logo. A big number 18 marks his age.
Amitai's brother, Gavriel enjoys playing computer games. He loves the family's cat, Molly, and is also a regular at כושר קרבי, or combat fitness, where mum said they mostly seem to run around and crawl though sand!
My card shows bearded Gavriel holding Molly the cat. The computer game Polygon can be seen on his laptop. Once again I added the fitness class logo, and a big number 18 to mark Gavriel's age.
Mum was delighted with the cards and sent me these fabulous photos on the day of their birthday. They were captioned with the simple message "Perfect".

We love these cards so much! Such a perfect likeness and real pieces of art that my boys save as they are way more than just a card. Thank you 🙏🏻

They may be twins but they are certainly unique individuals as you so beautifully illustrated.

One good looking young man is great. Two good looking twins are even better. Perfect is exactly right!

You have captured the differences, that they have grown into as young men. Very nice! But then again, I have never seen a card that was not spot on for the person and their special day!

How lovely to watch them grow through their cards. I love the differing interests, despite the fact that they are twins. Molly the cat stole the show! :O) xx
