About Wild Things

I have always found that the right piece of art is undoubtedly the cherry on top of the cake when it comes to bringing all elements together in the decorative process.

 

With a background working in interior decoration and before starting my own family, I needed to with source some classically themed wall art for a children's bedroom that would hark back to the classic novels such as Wind in the Willows and Enid Blyton's Famous Five.  Fast forward a few weeks and after no joy with my search, I  decided to tackle the brief myself, and put pen to paper. The result being Edgar Fox, Cecil Pheasant and Bertie Hare - The Wild Things had arrived!

 

All of my characters are hand illustrated in a style that uses clean lines, and many of my characters  may show  little imperfections which I always find charming.  Once my final draft is complete I will often decide upon their name which is another favourite  part of the process, and then I go on to create their screen whilst deciding upon what colour I feel best represents them!

 

Each character has their own single colour to give maximum impact, and Wild Things are available in two print sizes, smaller square card prints and larger limited-edition silkscreen prints which I hand print from my Herefordshire studio onto organic cotton base cloth. I absolutely love fabric and find that printing onto cloth really adds that traditional element and something very special to my designs.

 

I created these characters a little by accident, but the reaction has been truly heart-warming to see! I hope you will enjoy them too, and if you have  your very own Wild Thing that you would like to commission, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

 

Enjoy!
