Artwork description:

A species is a natural phenomenon, a breed is engineered by man, and none more profoundly than the dog. No other species has been used to create such a huge variety of odd looking creatures, and yet each has its own individual character and appeal, much like the different areas in London. From the affluent Knightsbridge to the edgy east end, the suited City to the suburban Crouch End, different postcodes attract different residents and so build up its unique make-up.

This tongue in cheek nomenclature of the areas of London and the dogs you might find there is a playful take on social stereotypes and local observations. The beautifully observed illustrations are taken from original hand drawings and turned into a print through the screen printing process, creating a unique piece of work in a limited edition.

Materials used:

Screen print on Bread and Butter 270gsm white paper
