Name Illustrations for Christenings and Birth Announcements

This Spring, I worked on a safari-themed birth announcement for a little boy named James. His parents asked for his name to be illustrated in their favourite shade of blue, surrounded by animals such as a lion, giraffe and monkey.

Inspired by children’s books, illustrated names or initials are a charming way to our celebrate little ones, whether to be used on the cover of a christening or birthday invitation or to be sent out as their birth announcement.

James’s parents decided to also print a larger version to frame at home for his bedroom, but if you would prefer to commission your child’s name or initials for the sole purpose of framing at home, I would be happy to quote for an original hand-painted watercolour rather than a digital print.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions or to discuss any ideas you might have, whether your child loves animals, book characters, or mystical creatures such as fairies or unicorns!
