Stars in the night sky

Maybe it has been my recent visit to the Greenwich Observatory that has re-ignited my plan to make an illustration of the night sky. An other reason might have been the fact that it's dark outside at 4 pm and that Christmas is approaching rapidly.
So, I have been busy cutting stars into lino and sprinkling them on a dark blue backdrop. Planets in our solar system have been placed around our sun (the really big star). I connected stars that make up the Big Dipper and Orion (the only constellations I can locate by myself). As it stands the illustration also includes a few man-made objects such as a satellite and Piers Seller's spatula, and even a bit of the Milky Way can be seen.

Kind Type - Font

My latest font: Kind Type is based on watercolor painted letters. Open, bold strokes with rounded terminals make it a very legible typeface even at small size. This typeface has a soft, friendly character with a distressed edge. It is suitable for short paragraphs, captions or headings.

Map of San Francisco - out now

Typographic map of San Francisco is out now. It names neighbourhoods, parks, Golden Gate bridge, Pier 39 and Alcatraz. Prints are hand screen-printed on archival printmaking paper. Texture, deckle edge and vibrancy of colours convey an air of heritage while the character comes from slight inconsistencies in the ink levels.

Parkland Walk photo collage

Parkland Walk follows a disused railway line that leads from Finsbury Park up to Alexandra Palace. It features remains of a platform, Victorian bridges and walls which are popular with graffiti writers. I wanted to make a photo collage of the graffiti evolving under these arches for a while. I also found there's a flickr group dedicated to Parkland Walk graffiti.
