If you're in need to apologize to someone, do it the David Fullarton way and say it blunt humor.
This series of humorous illustrative cards entitled 'I Can't Apologize Enough' is an ongoing art project that uses mixed media. Each illustration is an imagined and often very hysterical apology accompanied with a drawing of a person from random photos.
Unlike Canada and the UK, the people of America rarely apologize and Fullarton draws inspiration to make these cards from his experiences living in the United States.
"Although I’m British, I’ve lived in the USA for the last 16 years, which means I come from a place where everyone constantly aplogises for everything, and I live in a place where no one ever apologizes for anything," remarks Fullarton.
