About Wild Lines

Hello, and thank you for visiting Wild Lines! We create eco-friendly wildlife cards and gifts for people who are passionate about the natural world.

Wild Lines is a small independent business based in Dorset, creating hand-drawn wildlife cards, gifts and books that celebrate the incredible animals we share our planet with.

Founded by zoologist and illustrator Jen Parker, every design begins as an original pen-and-ink drawing before being transformed into eco-friendly products that are made to be treasured, shared and enjoyed.

You'll find everything from much-loved favourites like giraffes, gorillas and penguins to wonderfully unusual species such as aye ayes, axolotls and quokkas. Whether you're looking for a birthday card, a thoughtful gift or a children's book, our aim is simple: to help wildlife lovers discover something a little different.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We carefully choose recycled and responsibly sourced materials wherever possible, minimise plastic packaging, and work with UK manufacturers. We know that greeting cards are fleeting by nature, so we're committed to creating products that are as kind to the planet as they are delightful to receive.

Above all, we hope every Wild Lines product sparks a smile, starts a conversation about wildlife, and helps people appreciate the remarkable diversity of the natural world.

Eco-Friendly Cards and Gifts, Always​

We are very environmentally conscious and aim to keep the carbon footprint of our small business to an absolute minimum. We only use UK-based printing companies and sustainably sourced materials.

All Wild Lines greetings cards are as sustainable as possible. The cards (both colour pop cards and luxury gold foil cards) and envelopes are made of FSC certified recycled paper and packaged either naked or in compostable sleeves made of vegetable starch.

Our colouring books are made of recycled paper. Art prints are printed on sustainably sourced paper and packed with recycled backboards in compostable sleeves. Fabric products like t-shirts and tea towels are printed on high quality organic cotton.

The products are made to last and we package them carefully in hard-backed envelopes. From the tape to stuffing, all of our packaging for both direct to customer orders and wholesale orders is fully recyclable (and recycled, where possible).

Meet the Founder

​I'm Jen Parker - the artist behind Wild Lines. I produce characterful wildlife artwork in thousands (or millions!) of lines and dots by hand using pen and ink on paper.

Before starting Wild Lines, I studied zoology and wildlife conservation. During my post-graduate diploma in endangered species recovery, I was lucky to work on a number of incredible conservation projects, and learn about many more! 

My inspiration always comes from the natural world and I love drawing animals that aren't often seen on products. I don't just draw a gorilla; I draw a western lowland gorilla with its characteristic brow ridge.

Each of my animal subjects has its own charm, and I hope that the eco-friendly animal greeting cards, detailed wildlife art prints and unique gifts for animal lovers will bring a pinch of nature-themed joy and wonder to their recipients.
