About me
I’m the illustrator behind Teifi Illustration, specialising in professional archaeological illustration and heritage visualisation. Since 2008, I’ve provided accurate, publication-ready illustrations for archaeologists, researchers, heritage professionals, and museums across the UK.
My work covers everything from artefact drawings, finds plates, and site plans to small finds illustration, comparative typology, and 3D photogrammetry models. Whether it’s a Neolithic flint arrowhead, a Bronze Age collared urn, a Roman pipe clay figurine, or a Victorian industrial building reconstruction, I bring clarity and precision to every project.
I studied Archaeological Illustration at the University of Exeter and have since built up more than 15 years of experience collaborating with clients to translate discoveries into clear, compelling visuals. Combining traditional line and shaded illustration techniques with modern digital reconstruction and photogrammetry, I offer a versatile service tailored to both academic publication and heritage interpretation.
Based in west Wales and working nationwide, I’m dedicated to producing high-quality illustrations that help communicate the past with accuracy and impact. If you need technical drawings for reports, illustrations for publications, or 3D reconstructions for interpretation and outreach, I can help bring your research to life.
Publication-ready archaeological illustrations — from artefact drawings to 3D reconstructions — created with accuracy, clarity, and impact.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is archaeological illustration?
Archaeological illustration is the accurate recording and visualisation of artefacts, sites, and features through drawings, finds plates, site plans, and reconstructions. These illustrations support excavation reports, academic publications, museum catalogues, and heritage interpretation.
What types of artefacts can you illustrate?
I specialise in a wide range of materials including flint and stone tools, ceramics, metalwork, bone, antler, and small finds such as Roman pipe clay figurines. I also produce site plans, comparative typology plates, and 3D reconstructions of structures and artefacts.
Do you create 3D models as well as 2D illustrations?
Yes — alongside traditional line and shaded illustration, I offer 3D photogrammetry models and digital reconstructions. These provide rotating, interactive views of artefacts and buildings, useful for heritage interpretation, public engagement, and online publications.
Who do you work with?
I work with archaeologists, heritage consultants, academic researchers, museums, and publishers across the UK. Based in west Wales, I provide services nationwide.
What standards do your illustrations meet?
All illustrations are prepared to publication standard, following best practice in archaeological recording. This ensures they are suitable for excavation reports, peer-reviewed journals, and heritage archives.
