Mostly books by female authors in this lovely bookshop.  Lovely big windows give you lots of light to explore whats out on display or still tucked on a shelf.  You can purchase this illustration as part of a set of greetings cards or it's on my 'Bookshops of London' poster.

Untapped Cities : (Art)chitecture no.1

House Hunting in London

A new venture where I shall be illustrating buildings - YAY!  The lovely people at Untapped Cities have asked me to illustrate for a column to come out every two weeks on a Wednesday.  My only guide to be buildings and to write a bit of text to go with the illustration.  I love it!  

Check out the site www.untappedcities.com and have a look around, there are some great articles.  Say hello to them @untappedcities and find my column under '(Art)chitecture'.

The End

 

TA DA!  And there you have it, the end of 30 Days of illustrations of buildings.  I hope you've enjoyed seeing these as much as I have enjoyed doing them.  This little project has really reminded me of how much I love to illustrate buildings.  From finding a building that catches my eye, to capturing it in my own style, details and colours, whether an up close detail or the whole building.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this project, so please feel free to leave a comment or send an email.  Thank you!
