My story

Hello, I’m Alex, an artist and illustrator based in Kingston, and the founder of Thursday Arts Club. I work under the name FACE, and I create original wall art, playful prints, and illustrated cards for people who want something unique to brighten up their homes.

My Inspiration

I’ve spent much of my life travelling and living in different countries, and that’s shaped my eclectic style, from Scandi chic minimalism to bold tropical kitsch. Palm trees, vibrant colours, and little playful details, I’m here for it all! 

I love contrasting monochrome pen-and-ink detail with simple, bright colours, giving each piece a joyful and distinctive feel.

 

Creating Art for Kids

Since becoming a parent, I’ve especially loved designing kids’ wall art, personalised prints, and name or word illustrations. These pieces bring fun, character, and creativity into children’s rooms and nurseries without being overly “kiddy.”

Whether it’s an original artwork, a colourful print, or a thoughtful commission, I want my art to make you (and your kids) smile every time you see it.

Commissions & Bespoke Art

Looking for something personal? I love creating bespoke pieces. I do customised name prints, favourite toys and one-of-a-kind wall art. It’s a wonderful way to mark a special occasion, decorate a nursery, or give a meaningful gift.

You can also explore Thursday Arts Club’s growing collection of artist-created prints, cards, and wall art, all designed to be affordable, original, and full of joy.

Let’s Create Something Together

Thursday Arts Club is about more than art, it’s about supporting independent artists and filling homes with pieces that tell a story.
