The Monty.
We are great lovers of the outdoors and so inspired by many botanically related folks. This particular collection stems (pun intended) from many hours watching and re-watching Monty Don’s “Around the World in 80 Gardens”. It got us thinking about what he’d use to write home, to share seeds, to give you a gentle nudge that you should be sowing / planting / harvesting whatever needs attention at that particular point.
We think he’d like these no fuss interpretations of vintage botanical illustrations. Simple, bold, to the point, matter of factly in an elegant way.
Personality:
Confident, creative, earthy, authentic, thoughtful, simple, utilitarian, reliable, elegantly bold.
Colours:
Simple line drawings with open interpretation on envelopes / envelope liners etc to bring more colour.
Geographic origin:
Found in the field ankle deep in mud or at a garden soirée in the south of France.
Design notes.
The illustration style of The Monty has been used many times for wedding / event invitations. It presents the perfect elegant and simple backdrop for injecting personality with variations on type and the addition of decorative elements such as vellum overlays.
