My ode to Bowie’s Space Oddity, designed to be viewed with 3D glasses, closing one eye you see words from Major Tom, and then closing the other eye the reply from Ground Control.

Here’s my first stencil spray paint print from u

Here’s my first stencil spray paint print from using the stencil from my previous post. Wanted to do this one using negative space, stencilling out the space between the letters. I had to create lots of bridges to stop the letters falling out, but did them on the angled perspective line to make a feature out of them.

Introducing a new Black and White version of Anima

Introducing a new Black and White version of Animals Of London.

An illustrated typographic map of our capital, packed with creatures great and small. Plotting all the places you can find our furry, feathery or scaly friends, including zoos, parks, farms and museums. Animals from the pages of novels and history books, famous pets and animal landmarks, jostling for position with escaped tigers, chimpanzees and eagles. Think dog libraries, cat emporiums, hedgehog graffiti and pet cemeteries. And over a hundred dalmatians.

20% of the sale price goes to London Wildlife Trust.

London Wildlife Trust is dedicated to the protection of London’s wild spaces and engaging London’s diverse communities in nature through their nature reserves, education, volunteering and campaigning. Their vision is a London alive with nature, where everyone values and takes action for wildlife.

I have a new version of my Central London Film Map

I have a new version of my Central London Film Map, this time at A3. Yours for £85, comes in black and in white.

Combining hand-drawn typography and illustration, the Central London Film Map is a limited edition print by the London-based graphic artist Dex, celebrating the capital’s credentials as one of the world’s most iconic cinematic cities. This is a more compact version of the more extensive London Film Map, swarming with film titles, actors and directors, plotted on the map where they most made their mark. Also featuring some of London’s most iconic picture houses, film studios and red carpet locations.

I have been creating typographic maps of (mostly)

I have been creating typographic maps of (mostly) London for almost 10 years now. In 2012, I created 'The Literary London Map'. The first of a pop-culture-themed trilogy of typographic maps of London Town. 'The Literary London Map' was followed in 2015 by 'The London Film Map', and the trilogy was completed in 2018 with 'The Music Map of London'. Each map celebrates the capital’s credentials as one of the world’s most iconic, cinematic and creative cities. From London’s legendary literary heritage and deep down music cool. Featuring novels, films and some of the best musicians in history, all plotted in the locations they are most famously associated. Each map is a labour of love, taking up to a year to complete.
During this period, my obsession led me to create a number of other typographic maps of my home town. My 'Typographic Street Map of London' plots as accurately as possible all of London’s roads, streets, back alleys and cul-de-sacs. And the crafting of ‘Storylines', my take on London’s iconic tube map. As well as a map which charts all of London’s famous public houses and taverns ('Pubs of London'). 'Twenty Bridges' piece takes a simplified journey along the Thames, hero-ing just the iconic bridges between Kew and Tower Bridge. In lockdown last year I completed my latest map. 'Animals Of London’ , a homage to London’s critters, real and fictional.

All these maps are currently in my annual sale, link in bio.

Any suggestions for what theme I should do next?
