Illustrator

TOM MARTIN is an art house built around illustration, craftsmanship and storytelling. Our Studio sits at the heart of everything we make, from collectible inside painted glass to our growing product world and brand collaborations.

We are now seeking a highly skilled Illustrator to join the Studio, with the ambition and ability to grow into the role of Lead Illustrator of The Studio.

It is a long term creative position for someone who wants to build a body of work within a luxury house.

The role

You will be responsible for creating the artwork that defines TOM MARTIN across bespoke client projects and our own collections. Working closely with Tom and other illustrator, you will translate stories, places, architecture and brand worlds into our distinctive illustrated style.

Your work will become part of a permanent archive of collectible designs, many of which will live in collections and with historic hotels around the world.

Over time, as the Studio grows, this role may develop into Lead Illustrator, setting visual direction, mentoring future illustrators and safeguarding the House style.

What you will do

You will create original illustrations for bespoke commissions for clients such as luxury hotels, fashion houses and heritage brands. You will develop artworks for our own TOM MARTIN collections and limited editions. You will prepare artwork for inside painting production, understanding how line, colour and composition translate onto glass. You will work with the Brand and Operations teams to ensure artwork is delivered on time, to brief and to standard. You will help document and evolve the House illustration style as the Studio grows.

What we are looking for

You are an exceptional illustrator with a refined, confident line and strong sense of composition. You have a love of design, heritage and storytelling. You are comfortable working with real world references and turning them into elegant, emotionally rich illustrations. You care deeply about detail and consistency. You are ambitious, but patient enough to build something lasting.

Experience in luxury, hospitality, fashion or high end gifting is an advantage, but the quality of your portfolio matters more.

What we offer

  • A place within a creative House built around craft, storytelling and long term brand value

  • The opportunity to work on world class collaborations with leading hotels and brands

  • A hybrid working model with flexibility and generous holiday including Christmas closure

  • The chance to grow with the business and shape your role as the House evolves
