Hello, I'm James. I'm a self-taught illustrator, poet and writer, making things that feel personal, playful, or a little unexpected. From poems and prose to hand-drawn illustrations, my work moves between words and images, often finding the humour, feeling or detail that makes something distinctly its own. This is a small, quiet corner of the internet where I gather the work I make and the creative paths I'm building. Dyche Studio is home to my original illustrations, bringing together loose linework, handwritten lettering, colour and a little wonkiness across art, cards and gifts. It's another expression of the same creative instinct that drives my writing: a love of words, visual storytelling and making things with character.

Work with me

I'm open to a small number of commissions for original illustrations and art-led pieces - for a card, a gift, or a personal project. I'm self-taught and work in my own hand-drawn style; the best place to start is a conversation about your idea. I also occasionally take on poetry and writing commissions.
