draw the line

Welcome to the home of squiggly lines and wibbly splodges ~ custom made, specially for you

draw the line is all about celebrating the special stuff in life with products that are themselves special: completely unique original paintings, handmade to order.

Behind the brand is me, Gaby, a London-based illustrator, determined to spread a little joy with my wonky pictures and blobs of paint.

I work from photographs and client specifications to create stylised ink and watercolour portraits of homes, pets and cuddly toys. I also offer custom 'special place' paintings, so my clients can celebrate and commemorate the pockets of the planet that they treasure most, from graduation and wedding venues, to local pubs or beloved holiday spots.

I produce illustrations, not fine-art portraits, so my priority is always to capture personality over an exact likeness. This allows me to create freer, more stylish images which are completely distinct from any photographs of the same subject. That said, I do welcome customer input about the specific look and feel of an artwork, and will always try my hardest to fulfil requests!
