The Merry River
My image has been selected for the Serco, London Transport
Museum and Association of Illustrators The River Thames
Competition. An exhibition of the top 50 entries will be shown
at the London Transport Museum and winners announced at the
private view evening in May.
The illustration is based from my observations and sketches made
on my many walks along the river. The central focus is the iconic
London Transport logo which forms the River Thames. On and
surrounding the river I've portrayed aspects of London's varied life
to create an energetic and humorous poster. The image is far the most
detailed I've created. I stayed true to my initial sketch, but I was adding
new elements and rearranging them an hour before the entry deadline.
I did have lots fun creating this illustration.
