CREATIVE SUPPORT FOR INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES
You make the products.
Let’s give people a reason to notice.
Thoughtful product imagery, clear descriptions and social content for makers, artists, retailers and independent publishers. Created with James Hurley in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, for businesses across the UK.
Good products deserve a clear story.
You’ve put the work into creating something worth buying. Then comes the other job: finding the right image, explaining why it matters and writing another post. We bring those pieces together, so your marketing feels considered and you have finished content to work with.
Make the product the focus
Styled imagery and campaign visuals built around your actual products, their details and the people likely to love them.
Find the words that fit
Descriptions and captions that explain the benefit, sound like your business and give customers a sensible next step.
Get a usable set of content
Coordinated images and copy prepared for agreed channels, with a clear brief and one included revision round.
Choose the support you need
Start with one product, refresh a small collection or plan a regular batch of content. We agree the scope, total price and delivery date before work begins.
Product Launch Pack
A focused starting point for one product or magazine issue.

See the idea brought to life
Six campaign concepts spanning fantasy products, fine art and independent magazines. Each combines a visual with a message written for its audience. Click an image or its button to explore the featured product or issue; open the caption to see the accompanying social copy.
These examples feature James’s own brands and publications he works on. They demonstrate creative work, rather than paid-client results or measured sales performance. Styled scenes are illustrative.

Baby Alien Dragon
Your next chapter has company.
A warm reading scene gives a decorative product a role in the customer’s everyday life.

Your reading corner is almost perfect. Favourite books, a decent cuppa, somewhere comfortable to disappear for a while.
Perhaps it’s just missing a little company.
With oversized purple eyes and wonderfully unusual details, this Baby Alien Dragon looks like it wandered out of a story and decided your bookshelf was home. Made in Huntingdon, its articulated body lets you gently arrange it beside your favourite reads.
No feeding required. We can’t promise it won’t judge your growing TBR pile.
Would yours guard the books or keep you company on your desk?

Treasure Dragon with Mimic Tail
Every hoard needs a guardian.
Dramatic lighting highlights the detail; a playful hook speaks to fantasy readers and collectors.
Read the matching social caption
You call it a book collection. A dragon would probably call it a hoard.
Either way, it deserves a guardian.
Covered in golden coin-like scales and colourful crystal details, this Treasure Dragon brings a little mischief to your fantasy shelf. Follow its tail and you’ll find the surprise: a treasure chest with teeth and a rather cheeky tongue.
It’s the sort of detail a fellow fantasy lover spots halfway through a conversation.
What would yours be guarding: special editions, gaming treasures or something nobody else is allowed to touch?

Breaking Free
Make room for who you are becoming.
A quiet gallery setting connects the artwork’s emotional story with the person choosing it.
Read the matching social caption
Sometimes an artwork says something you haven’t quite found the words for.
I created Breaking Free to explore personal freedom—the pull of what holds us back, and the possibility of moving beyond it. Photography, foliage and worn textures come together around a figure caught in that difficult space between holding on and letting go.
You might see struggle. You might see the beginning of something hopeful. Your response becomes part of your relationship with the piece.
Available as a framed, limited-edition print from my Thoughts and Emotions series.
Take a moment with it. What do you see first?

Misunderstood
For the stories words cannot hold.
Restrained gallery styling gives a complex artwork room to hold the attention.
Read the matching social caption
Being seen and being understood aren’t always the same thing.
In Misunderstood, I’ve layered portraits, historical textures and obscured faces to explore what happens when someone’s identity is buried beneath other people’s judgements.
The Scottish witch trials were the starting point. The question reaches beyond them: how much do we miss when we think we already know someone’s story?
This is a piece to spend time with. Look closely, step away, then return. Different details may ask for your attention.
Available as a signed and numbered limited-edition framed print.

That curiosity has a home in The Alternative Magazine.
Issue 003 invites you to explore spirituality, folklore and creative expression, with room to consider different perspectives and make up your own mind.
Choose a printed copy for a quiet reading moment, or a PDF to explore on your device.

A maker’s eye. An artist’s judgement.
James Hurley creates art, physical products and independent publications. That experience shapes the service: attention to the details that matter, an understanding of what makes an item distinctive, and a story that fits the person you want to reach.
AI-assisted tools support the creative process, with James directing and reviewing the work. Your product references and feedback guide the final result.
From your idea to content you can use
1. Share what you sell
Send a website or product link, clear photographs, your audience and what you need help with. Include any launch date.
2. Agree the brief
We confirm the deliverables, image suitability, price and schedule. You know what is included before committing.
3. Review and receive
Review the first version, send one combined round of feedback and receive your final agreed images and copy.
A few practical questions
Do I need professional photographs?
Clear phone photographs may be enough. Send a few well-lit views so James can assess the detail and angles before quoting. Some products need new photographs to represent them accurately.
Will the images show my actual product?
The work starts with your product references. Colours, features and proportions need checking during review, particularly in generated scenes. Product accuracy is part of the approval process.
Can I book just one project?
Yes. A launch pack or shop refresh can be a standalone project. Regular content is available when you need ongoing help.
Will you run my social accounts or guarantee sales?
These packages provide agreed creative assets and copy. Posting, advertising and website changes require a separate agreement. Sales depend on your offer, audience, reach and other factors; no sales or ranking guarantee is included.
Let’s start with what you’re making.
Tell James about your business, link to the product or publication, and say which package interests you. Add your deadline and budget if you have them. You’ll receive a proposed scope and quote before any work is agreed.
