I’m Rich, a traditional pen and ink artist and illustrator based in Nottingham.

With over 15 years of commercial experience in graphic design, branding and illustration, this website is the home for my passion: creating compelling visuals for brands and producing detailed, distinctive art for your walls.

Whether you're a business looking for a bespoke logo, branding solution or mural commission. Or you are a collector searching for a piece of unique illustration to bring a space to life. You will find a commitment to quality, creative flair, and professional expertise in every project.

Over the past couple of years I have been focusing more of my time on historical illustrations, by starting to illustrate a book on First World War battles. I have also been producing illustrations and artwork for the Sutton Hoo Ship Company. Who are recreating the Anglo Saxon ship found at Sutton Hoo using traditional methods.

This year as well as carrying on with my First World War project I am going to focus my spare time on large scale architectural drawings. Architecture is a passion of mine and I want to try and get some of my work in exhibitions, which is something I have neglected since covid. I already have three ideas ready to go, I just need to find the time to start drawing again.
