Some of my favorite family traditions:

1. Opening a golden present from "Santa"!
2. Dancing around empty sacks the night before…
3. Reading The Night Before Christmas
4. Leaving out food for Santa and his reindeer

This Christmas cards set were designed with all these precious memories in mind! ❤️

Autumn Magic 🍁✨🦌

2nd Year Anniversary 🍂✨

To mark our 2nd anniversary and an off-grid cabin. The perfect autumn break to disconnect and reset.

Before switching off, I paired hand-painted stags with falling seasonal foliage, warm earth tones, and subtle gold splatters.

Printed on heavy 300gsm textured cardstock, made with love and cherished long after the anniversary passes.

Details: 🎨 Olive, Burnt Sienna, Crimson, & Ochre 📜 300gsm Textured Archival Cardstock 💌 Custom stationery & keepsake commissions
Booking for late 2026/2027—link in bio to inquire, and I’ll reply as soon as we’re back from the woods!

Where it all began 🍂✨

Hi!

I’m Luke, the face and artist behind Luke Illustrates.

When my husband Joe and I were planning our October wedding, I wanted every detail to feel deeply personal.

Sooooo.... I picked up my paintbrushes to create our custom stationery. From our pumpkin-filled "Save the Dates" to the hand-painted place cards resting on rustic log holders at our tables (thanks grandad) and then creating our own thank you cards!

Along the journey I realised how magical it is to turn personal stories into bespoke, hand-painted artwork. I’m starting this new adventure to bring peoples visions to life - be it custom watercolour stationery, place cards, invitations or custom artwork. 🎨

Whether you're planning an intimate autumn wedding or a grand celebration, I'd love to help craft something unique for your day.
