I have made these more commercial images of London to turn them into A4 prints to sell at the markets and on the streets. It can be hard painting commercial pictures and to get the balance between an image you are happy with and one that will hopefully sell!

The above is a series of three drawings I did while in Amsterdam around the end of last year. Each expressing an element that to me is the signature traits of this city. Endless bikes, drizzle, strangely angled buildings which have leaned and sunk from being built on a swamp foundation, bridges and canals lined with boats. These drawings where exhibited in New York at the Climate gallery in a large international drawing exhibition called The zeit of drawing (The time of drawing).

These drawings are done of London. The first is called down and out and of a guy begging along the Thames. The second is called suburbia where the houses seem to stacked in rows as far as the eye can see.
There are a lot of people living in London and we live so close to each other, Yet we don't seem to know each other at the same time... familular stranges.
