I recently completed my entry for the 'SPACE Exhibition' running in conjunction with the Cardiff Design Festival 2011. The quote is attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson and I picked it as I wanted to produce quite a melancholic response to the brief.
This is my entry for the 'They Draw and Travel' competition. I choose to depict my favourite American city, Boston, in a rather non-literal manner. I based the composition on two main features of the city: a map of the 'T' line (the rail network) and the 'Freedom Trail' (a red brick path around the city). My aim was to capture the fun and variety within this history-rich place and the colours offered by the green parks, brick buildings and the harbour. Here are a few close-up shots...
Fingers crossed I get into the 'They Draw and Travel' book.
Good luck; i think these illustrations are just fantastic!
