Designs for the trades — railroad, towing, road striping and the crews that keep things moving.
Most trade humour is either a stock clip-art truck or a slogan someone's seen a hundred times. This category takes a different route: an original hand-drawn rat actually doing the job, badly enough to be funny and accurately enough to land with people who do it for real.
You'll find railroad workers, tow truck operators, road stripers, IT support and more. A lot of these overlap with the Halloween Boo Crew run, so if you're shopping for someone in the trades in autumn there's usually a seasonal version of their job in here too.
These make good gifts precisely because they're specific. A generic "world's best worker" mug says nothing; a rat mid-callout at 3am says you actually know what their shift looks like.
The collection covers railroad, towing, road striping, IT support and several others. If your trade isn't here yet, message the Etsy shop — custom requests are open.
Yes — trade-specific humour tends to land much harder than a generic gift, especially for someone who rarely sees their job represented anywhere.
Every design is original hand-drawn artwork by ArtDesignByNora, printed in a vintage ink and watercolor style. Prices are shown in GBP as listed on Etsy; postage is confirmed at checkout.
