All Scribble & Daub cards are traditionally letter-pressed from original dip pen and ink drawings and then individually hand-painted with Andy Warhol's favourite inks on luxurious Italian deckle-edged cards with matching envelope.

There was a time when watermelons represented nothing more than carefree summer days and sunshine. I’d always been planning to add one into our collection.

Since the atrocities of the past ten months, we have come to realise an entirely different significance of this fruit.

Watermelons are grown widely across Palestine, and since it shares the colours of that country’s flag - red, green, black & white - has become an iconic symbol of protest and resistance against violence & suppression by the occupation there over many decades. 

Following the 1967 war, when Israel seized control of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and annexed East Jerusalem, the government banned the Palestinian flag in the occupied territory and so the watermelon became a proxy for it.

50 pence from the sale of every card will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians

Add code FREE PALESTINE at checkout and we will send you a second card, entirely free, to write and post to Keir Starmer, David Lammy, or your own country's representative, asking for an immediate ceasefire and to end arms sales to Israel being used in the current genocide.
