Based in East Yorkshire, Tom Hardwick is an illustrator who sources inspiration from the British countryside and natural world. Having graduated from Hull School of Art and Design where he enjoyed painting, printing, drawing and all things illustration, Tom offers goods that showcase his own take on familiar scenes around the British Isles, such as charming digitally illustrated prints, responsibly sourced birch and maple wood pins and detailed woven iron-on patches to add a playful, custom touch to clothing.
Illustrated with textural features and a signature Tom Hardwick artistic style that draws upon cartoon-like shapes combined with plenty of real-life accuracy, we love imagining how Tom’s range of pins and iron-on patches will be worn in the many different animal characters available. From a kingfisher, wolf and sloth, to a black dachshund, brown bear and wren, you can show you love and support for wildlife with these fun adornments! Even better, by choosing wood over a typical enamel pin,2 0 to 24 times less energy is used in addition to CO2 usage being reduced by a third.
