About
A SW London studio, a line at a time
Outlined by Earnshaw is the studio of an illustrator drawing the places, people and milestones that hold meaning — from local pubs to bespoke commissions.
A little about me
Hi, I'm the artist behind Outlined by Earnshaw. I draw entirely by hand from a small SW London studio, with a fine-liner habit and a soft spot for old pub frontages, wonky chimneys and the corners of streets you walk past every day.
My work sits between fine art and storytelling — landmark prints, greetings cards and bespoke commissions that try to hold on to the texture of a place or a moment, rather than smooth it out.
Most pieces start outside, sketchbook in hand. The studio is where the inking, detail and quiet hours happen — usually with a strong coffee and something instrumental on in the background.
When I'm not drawing, I'm probably sketching outside a pub. (Research.)
What I care about
Values that shape the work
Drawn by hand
Every line is inked by hand in the studio. No filters, no AI, no shortcuts — the wobble is the point.
Sense of place
Whether it's a pub on a corner or a family home, the work tries to hold on to what makes a place feel like itself.
Considered & calm
Small studio, small queue. Each commission gets proper thinking time, not a production line.
Made to keep
Archival inks, heavyweight paper, careful packaging. Pieces that look good now and in twenty years.
A short history
How the studio grew
Origins
Started drawing local pubs and SW London streetscapes for friends and family.
Cards & prints
The greeting-card and print range grew from requests after each commission.
Commissions
Bespoke pieces became the heart of the studio — homes, weddings, layered storytelling.
Today
Working with independents, venues and editorial clients alongside private commissions.
