Award-winning pen & ink illustrations

Hi there! I’m Eri Griffin, a professional illustrator specialising in pen & ink illustrations. With over 15 years of experience, I love bringing clients’ ideas to life with hand-drawn illustrations and line art, ensuring each piece is unique and crafted with care.

The power of pen & ink illustrations

Ink drawings may seem simple—just a few lines on paper—but they carry incredible power. Ink can create tones, smudges, sharp edges, and flowing lines, evoking deep emotions and inviting the viewer to add their own story to the artwork. That’s what I love about ink—it’s minimalist yet profoundly expressive.

As a minimalist, I focus on precision and purpose. I carefully consider the shapes and movements of my subjects, mentally eliminating unnecessary lines, and drawing only those that are most effective. This approach keeps my illustrations clean and simple, yet versatile enough to complement almost any design or product.

I invite you to explore my portfolio and discover the beauty and simplicity of ink for yourself!

Pen & ink illustrations specialist

All ink illustrations I create are meticulously handcrafted with pen and ink, resulting in unique, one-of-a-kind artwork that truly stands out. I work with a diverse range of clients worldwide, delivering illustrations in various formats to suit your specific needs—be it packaging, books, music album covers, or corporate logos. My goal is to bring your vision to life with creativity and care.

As an illustrator, I’m endlessly curious and always eager to explore new ideas. While my world may be small, I find immense inspiration in my clients—their expertise, industries, products, and the stories behind them. Every project teaches me something new, and I take pride in creating illustrations that not only captivate but also tell their own stories.

Let’s create your stories together, I’d love to hear about your next project!

Eri's stunning talent as a pen & ink illustrator brings the Beauty and Truth in darkness to light. I am so pleased that Eri designed both the cover and illustrations for my book 'Lucid Surrender: The Alchemy of the Soul in Lucid Dreaming' (Archive Publishing, 2021). Working with Eri was an inspiration, and I especially appreciated the care she took in melding her artistic vision with my own conceptualisations for the artwork. I also was grateful for her patience and perfectionism in realising the final illustrations. Her work shines with Quality.
