City of London Greeting Card

The City of London is the heart of our nation's capital city and every nook and cranny is jam packed with history and hair raising stories of times gone by. Whether it's treason plotted and failed (and would be assailants sent to the Tower of London) or fire and damnation (the great plague followed by the Fire of 1666 remembered by the magnificent Monument) it's all happened within this infamous square mile. My design also references the City's past as a market destination with Billingsgate, Spitalfields and Smithfields all making an appearance. I love drawing modernist architecture and so getting my paint brush around the Barbican, the Gherkin, Walkie Talkie and more is sheer pleasure for me. The people of London have shaped its history and its future and so I've included a Cockney and his Pearly Queen having some banter and within earshot of the bells of St Mary Le Bow.
