I always like playing around with some special fin

I always like playing around with some special finishes, like this Literary London map with gold leaf river running through it. This is a two colour screenprint (gold and white) on velvety dark brown Plike paper that really holds the ink nicely. Then I used a gold leaf pen to paint in the Thames.

With all the music lyric stencil stuff I have been

With all the music lyric stencil stuff I have been posting recently i’ve been neglecting my typographic maps.

So here is Twenty Bridges.

'Twenty bridges from Tower to Kew -
Wanted to know what the River knew,
Twenty Bridges or twenty-two,
For they were young, and the Thames was old
And this is the tale that River told.’

Hand-crafted typographic art featuring the opening lines to 'The River's Tale' by Rudyard Kipling in the shape of the river Thames, with all the relevant bridges plotted in position.

These words written by Robert Plant, from the Led

These words written by Robert Plant, from the Led Zeppelin’s classic, composed by Jimmy Page. The most played song on American radio, probably their most well-known track, and it was never released as a single.

Underworld’s Born Slippy was named after a greyh

Underworld’s Born Slippy was named after a greyhound. If the track was originally about anything it was about trying to get home after a drunken night in Soho. But it’s become more than that. An anthem of late 90s British music, one that people think celebrates hedonism when in actual fact the sentiment behind it was the opposite and more a cry for help (according to Karl Hyde).
Anyway, whatever you take from it it’s an awesome, poignant record that’ll always remind me of a time and place, partly thanks to Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting.
