Whimbrel Illustrations

Craig is an artist and illustrator based in Penryn, Cornwall. After moving from his native Birmingham, the Covid era led to a big rethink. He is now fully self-employed and happier than ever.
His illustration style is very cute and colourful, quite simple but packed with character. He uses a mixture of ink and pencil for the originals and design all his products and packaging himself.
Craig loves bird watching, so drawing them was inevitable. There’s a long list of birds he wants to draw eventually, but the long process of creating the shape and character of the original, executing a perfect finished drawing, designing and refining products, ordering printing and packaging ready for display, means he has a small, carefully curated shop of quality products.
