Commissions – Architecture & Brand Collaborations
This page brings together a selection of illustration commissions and client projects, developed through an ongoing exploration of London’s architecture, culture, and everyday perspectives.
Each project begins in the same way — through observation. A building, a place, or a moment that carries a distinct identity, translated into a visual language that can be applied across prints, products, and wider collections. From individual illustrations to complete product ranges, the work shown here reflects collaborations with brands looking to capture a sense of place through design.
Projects & Illustration Commisions
The projects featured below range from individual commissioned illustrations to fully developed product collections, created in collaboration with clients across different sectors. Each image links through to a dedicated project page, where you can explore:

the original brief
-
the development process
-
how the final designs were applied
These projects often begin with a specific location or idea, and evolve into something broader — a collection, a series, or a visual identity built around place.
I offer bespoke illustration commissions focused on architecture, urban environments, and culturally significant locations.
This includes London architecture illustrations, landmark and building studies, stadium and cultural site artwork, location-based visual storytelling.
London Illustration Commissions: Architecture & Brand Collaborations- Clients & Ranges
If you’re looking to develop a custom illustration or a complete design range for your brand, I’d be happy to discuss your project. Whether it’s a specific building, a series of locations, or a broader concept tied to place, the process can be tailored to suit your needs. Get in touch with me at mathanki@eyeforlondonprints.com to start a conversation about your commission.
Who I Work With: Product & Range Planning
Alongside individual pieces, I work with brands studios, and organisations looking for London-based illustration, architecture-led design or place-driven storytelling, to develop complete illustrated product ranges. This can include:
-
art prints
-
notebooks and planners
-
bookmarks and stationery
-
gift-focused collections
The aim is to create a cohesive series of designs that translate a place, theme, or identity into physical products.
Past projects have involved working with clients who are interested in architecture-led design, London-focused storytelling and creating distinctive, place-based products. The work is adaptable depending on the brief — from single commissions to larger collaborative ranges.

Made in the UK – Local Production & Quality
All products and collections are produced in the UK, working closely with a network of local suppliers and independent manufacturers.
This is an intentional part of the process. In a market where much of what we see is mass-produced and disconnected from its origin, keeping production local allows for a different level of control, both in terms of quality and how the work is translated from illustration into a physical product.
Many of the suppliers I work with are small or family-run businesses, with a focus on craftsmanship and consistency. This means each piece, whether a print, notebook, or part of a wider collection, is produced with a level of care that reflects the original work. It also allows for a more considered approach to materials, finishes, and detail. For commissioned projects and collaborations, this approach ensures that the end result is not just visually distinctive, but also well-made, reliable, and rooted in local production.
