Hi there! Even though this an extremely cliche phrase which every artist says, Haydn has had a deep passion for all things art since a very early age (must have been all of that colouring on the walls that helped). After getting a real kick from the good old days of online art and concept art forums (and the buzz of the internet, all hail the 56k modem), where Haydn started getting more serious about his drawing hobby, Haydn has been pursuing his passion of art everyday for as long as he can remember. The ultimate goal driving Haydn on? To own this Shop, serving thousands of people every year, creating art I find inspiring, whilst of course, having a great deal of fun and happiness along the way.

After School and Uni (where you guessed it, Haydn studied art), Haydn became a freelance illustrator and designer. Haydn's soul purpose for this shop is to share his real love for art. Haydn started an Etsy shop back in 2013, with no real plan, idea or thought process.

And yes, it did flop for a long while (and I'm not surprised without a plan)! With Haydn not touching online shops or even thinking about starting one, Haydn decided he wanted to give it another shot.

Fast forward to today, Haydn creates bespoke art prints, original paintings, and greetings cards. He now has a goal, a plan and a dedicated mission to share the best art and products the world has seen. Using his vast experience of being an illustrator and designer for over 10 years, Haydn has built a strong following of his work. Producing unique and stunning illustrations, that are both contemporary, unique, which showcases his personality.

From the very mists of Hampshire where Haydn grew up, you can see Haydn creating his original paintings, mostly with gouache and watercolour. Using Winsor & Newton high quality paints (an industry favourite), Haydn uses the finest brushes and watercolour papers to create his paintings. Going onto art prints, Haydn selects only the best archival papers to print on (said to last 50+ years), which are all 300gsm in thickness. Then his greetings cards, again, printed onto 300gsm card, printing eye-catching cards in A6 and A5 in size.

Haydn is proud of the reputation he has built, having 70+ sales and counting, numerous 5* reviews, and quick and fast customer service. It's his attention to detail and ensuring every product that he sells is delivered to the high of standards. He is dedicated to ensure every customer is thrilled with their purchase, with no stones unturned.

Alongside his shop, Haydn has illustrated for the likes of Bloomsbury, The Clerkenwell Post, UKScouts, Londonist Drinks to Mary Christie Magazine. In terms of design, he creates bespoke business cards, website designs to branding. His hobbies include surfing, fitness, reading, art (well duh!), and painfully watching Newcastle United football team try and win a few matches!
