About This Image

On my last trip to London, I was walking along the Strand when I happened to spot a vintage double-decker bus in operation. It was one of the old AEC Routemasters and it was heading up the street! I love the really classic vintage feel of those old buses. Never mind the bright red color! Seeing one in service was just fantastic!

I wasn’t quite quick enough to capture that first one so I planted myself in the area, settling on a spot near the monument to Queen Victoria that sits at Temple Bar. In particular I liked the boundary dragon on the top of it. This is the literal border of the old City of London. Anytime you see Dragons like these in London, they are at a boundary to the City of London and facing away from the city. This is also where the Strand becomes Fleet Street.

And I waited for awhile before I was rewarded with another vintage double-decker bus. This one is the #15 bound for Trafalgar Square. There is (or I assume still is) a vintage route that runs the old Routemaster double-decker buses through the city. I suppose it’s a service mostly for the benefit of tourists like me, but I’m sure there are people who live in London and love to see those vintage Routemasters still in service, too!

Once I was home, I looked at the resulting photo. And I quickly settled on this print having a truly vintage feel. Hence the generally retro coloring, like an old Kodachrome or other vintage film that’s aged. It just seems appropriate to have a vintage art style for an old classic double-decker bus on the streets of London don’t you think?

How Can I Help?

At the end of the day, it’s important to me that you can put a face with the art you’re considering purchasing through my site. Aside from the print vendor who ultimately prints and ships your order, this is a one man show. The person who made the art is the same one who is typing this message and the one who will answer your questions if you drop me a note.

You are not a number and I care that you are happy with whatever art you might buy here. I’m here if you’d like to ask questions before or after purchasing. And I’m also happy to work with you where possible to customize the work you’re buying. Maybe you’d like a tweak to the shape of a print to fit in with your existing wall art. Or you’d like to add a little nod to someone special in it? Just ask! I also keep a running list of subjects I don’t currently have but people are seeking. So if you enjoy the style of my work but didn’t find quite what you were looking for, please do let me know.

I’ve been an artist for 15 years now and most of that time it’s been my full-time passion. And it matters to both the endorphins in my brain and the food I put on the table for me (and my cats) that you find the experience of purchasing the products offered here to be a pleasure.
