About this item
This one came to me when I was at Blackfriars underground station, when I was on the way home one day. I liked all the parallel lines of the platform and the train tracks (which all took ages to draw by the the way, not exactly in keeping with this simple and quick series, number 6 so far and I'm already struggling with that! And then much of it I covered with some beetles...). So giant stag beetles fighting it out on the underground - that's all this is really, and why not? Featuring the remnants of a key London instructional phrase, I don't think anywhere else in the world does this but I hope the AP MI text makes this instantly recognisable. Specifications: - Printed with the Ultrachrome HDR archival ink system of the Epson 7890 LFP on Hahnemuehle Giclee German Etching Paper (Matt FineArt - textured paper, 310 gsm, 100% a-Cellulose, white, mould-made) - Print ships rolled in a cardboard tube - Frame is not included (just for illustration purposes) All UK orders are sent by Royal Mail 1st Class, and tracking information will be supplied with shipping confirmation. All artwork designed in London, and all products manufactured and printed throughout the UK.

One of my new years resolutions this year is to read no dystopian fiction this year as the world is dystopian enough. So far I have managed it, but it appears I’m drawing them instead… I’m not sure that’s entirely what I had in mind! When I showed this to my five year old, she said ‘Oh no daddy he’s digging up the train, stop him!’, but alas I couldn’t as this is a drawing, sorry Ida. I’ve been working on this one for a while. During the making of it I picked up Covid-19, which took quite a while to properly shake off, but that might have been due to another bad thing happening which I won’t go into yet. Either way these two things may have either hindered or helped the final outcome (depending on your opinion of the drawing), but if you think this is the product of a deranged mind you probably haven’t seen anything yet…
