Nathan Shelton

I’m a UK-based illustrator working from Market Harborough, Leicestershire, and the founder of Ant Creations - established in 2000.

I specialise in clean, characterful vector illustration, creating bold, engaging artwork used across branding, campaigns, publishing and digital platforms. My style leans towards strong, cartoony visuals with plenty of personality, but I’m equally comfortable adapting to suit different briefs - whether that’s something more refined, subtle, or serious.

What I enjoy most is getting the detail right. I take real pride in crafting artwork that not only looks good, but works hard for the client - whether that’s helping a brand stand out, bringing a character to life, or supporting a wider creative concept. (And yes, I’m a bit of a self-confessed vector obsessive.)

Over the years I’ve worked with a wide range of clients - from large organisations and agencies to small businesses and first-time commissioners. Some know exactly what they need, others are starting from scratch - either way, I aim to make the process straightforward, collaborative and enjoyable.

If you’ve got a project in mind, need a quote, or just want to sense-check an idea, feel free to get in touch. I’m always happy to have a chat (and answer almost anything).
