Tube Posters
Over the last ten years I'm happy to say I've probably designed and illustrated more London Underground posters than any other single artist.
In 2013 TfL asked me to interpret the 'Know Your Travel Options' campaign which depicted commuters with tube stops for heads. The brief was a challenging one; to show personality and charm where traditional facial expression was impossible...
Over time the artwork moved to even greater graphic simplicity, culminating in the 'open sign' I designed to encourage passengers back to the service following improvements to the Gospel Oak to Barking section.
In 2015 I updated the iconic 'Discover London above the Piccadilly line' poster that appears in Piccadilly line trains, replacing the realist, perspective painting with a bold graphical vector illustration.
The hybrid style, mixing three dimensional elements with flat characters has been very popular and gone on to influence other TfL collateral. I re-visited the style for the Tenth Anniversary poster for the Overground in 2017.
If you find yourself on Westminster Bridge, you can drop down onto the pier and see the large mural I designed for River Services showing the places of interest along the Thames accessible by boat, from Hampton Court Palace to the Cutty Sark at Greenwich.
