Made with stress in the Ribble Valley, UK.
Slightly Oily. Entirely my fault.
I’m Nathan, the person behind Slightly Oily. From a small farming community in the Ribble Valley, I create Land Rover and Range Rover greetings cards, art prints and gifts inspired by the vehicles we treasure - and the things we put up with because we treasure them.
The collection brings together hand-drawn and digitally illustrated designs, vintage advert prints and artwork given a new lease of life from older motoring material. Expect vintage Land Rovers, classic Range Rovers, a sprinkling of farming and the occasional joke at the expense of something that really ought to have started by now.
Slightly Oily found its feet on Vinted, where I sold plenty of cards and prints before my enthusiasm was classified as “commercial activity” and I was shown the door. Naturally, I responded by getting my own website and several new bills. Thank you for helping justify that decision.
It’s just me here: designing, packing orders and occasionally appearing at a craft fair with a table full of things I hope other people find as amusing as I do. I’m also happy to discuss commissions, so if you’d like something inspired by your own much-loved vehicle, get in touch.
Whether you’re buying for a Land Rover enthusiast, a farmer, a long-suffering partner or yourself, I hope you find something that raises a smile.
Thanks for supporting a small independent maker. Every order helps keep the ideas coming and the printer in gainful employment.
