Hello there

A one-woman studio with a soft spot for the slightly odd.

From illustrated gifts and shop windows to full wedding suites, I've spent years making playful, characterful work for people and brands. Now I'm bringing it all under one roof.

Pip & Pickle Studio

Quirky character prints for curious little rooms.

An ever-growing cast of googly-eyed creatures — drawn by hand, printed with care, and very happy on a nursery or kids' bedroom wall.

How it works

1

Say hello

Tell me your date, your style and which pieces you'd love. I'll send a friendly quote.

2

Design & sketch

I sketch your illustrations and layouts, then refine the details together until it's just right.

3

Paint & proof

Final artwork is hand-finished, then digitally proofed so everything is perfect before print.

4

Print & post

Printed on lovely textured stock and posted to your door, ready to send with love.

Let's start with your date

Bespoke suites from a single save-the-date to the full set. Tell me a little about your day and I'll be in touch.

Other Work

A decade of odds, ends & lovely commissions.

Pet portraits, cards and invitations, illustrated gifts, shop windows and years of design work — a peek at the more unusual things I've made for people and brands.

Got something unusual in mind?

Murals, packaging, signage, a one-off illustrated gift — if it can be drawn, I'd love to hear about it.

Hello, I'm Lucy

A one-woman studio drawing the slightly odd & wholly lovable.

I'm an illustrator with a soft spot for googly eyes, wonky legs and characters with a bit too much personality. What began as drawings for fun has grown into Pip & Pickle Studio, a range of prints and cards, and bespoke wedding stationery for couples who want something truly their own.

Over the years I've turned my hand to all sorts — illustrated gifts, shop windows, cards and invitations, and design work in a previous studio life. These days I'm bringing it all under one roof and pouring my energy into building this into a proper, sustainable little business.
