Our story

Maud & Malcolm is a family-run creative studio based from our home in Shropshire. The hope is that our art prints, limited editions and personalised posters will bring a little bit of bounce to you and your favourite spaces.

Inspired by the beauty in everyday goings-on, our work is varied and always evolving. With a love of visual simplicity and a passion for doing things well, we pride ourselves on the quality of our work. And we work hard to make sure that the materials we use are of the highest quality possible, but with the lowest environmental impact.

We try to do some good along the way too. For every print sold, we make a donation to a cause that’s either close to us, or close to you. It’s simple. Good work for good causes.

For us, there’s nothing more important than knowing that our work brings a warm fuzz to the folks who are good enough to buy from Maud & Malcolm. We do this for the love of it and we love to see where our bits and bobs end up. So if you’ve been kind enough to purchase something, please tag any photos you share with @maudandmalcolm.

 

A bit more about us, for those who are interested

One morning while drinking tea and looking at a couple of pigeons in the garden (that we named 'Maud & Malcolm'), we decided to set something up.

Something small and interesting. A side project.

But a side project that one day, might move from where side projects normally sit, to become a 'right at the very front' project.

For years, we’ve been doodling, scribbling and collecting things that have made us smile. Things that we’ve said to each other, or overheard other people say. Stuff we’ve seen in films, read, or picked up while listening to music. We’ve got sketchbooks filled with bits and pieces. And the collection continues to grow. So, we decided to take our experience as a pair of designers and turn our collection of scribbles into art prints for the home.

Like most side projects however, it got left behind. We got busy and in spite of our backgrounds, we lacked confidence by the boatload. And even though we talked about Maud & Malcolm every day, we procrastinated and dilly-dallied. For years.

Then, a few things happened. The kind of things that really knock you. They gave us perspective and that gave us the kick we needed to get our backsides into gear.

So here we are. Slightly later than planned but here nonetheless. And with a little help from the younglings (Ben, Isla Wren and Indiecat), we’re on a mission to transfer all those sketchbook scribbles, our ramblings and your unique stories into beautiful art prints for you and your walls.

Thanks go to Maud and to Malcolm Pigeon, for unwittingly inspiring a couple of designers to try something new. 

And thanks so much to you too, for popping in to take a look.
