About This Image

There’s no doubt that the mental image most of us have of a London Bus is the classic double decker buses like this old AEC Routemaster. These days, of course, the double decker buses are mostly quite modern compared to this and there are even, gasp, single level buses! But if you go to London, you want a genuine London bus! So, I was thrilled when I discovered that there was a heritage route in London. It was actually an accidental discovery as I saw a classic London bus rumbling up the street towards me one afternoon. You could have knocked me over with a feather I was so excited.

You see, I have long held a fascination for the classic London bus. When I was little, my Uncle had one on a shelf in his home, a souvenir from a past trip to London. I’m sure it was the bright red that caught my attention at that young age. Whatever the case, I desperately wanted that London bus to be my own personal toy, but it was to be an unrequited love.

So, you can understand my excitement on seeing one in person. And hopefully you can also appreciate my motivation in creating this classic London bus art! And it captures both my personal love of those old red double deckers as well as the beautiful city of London. The backdrop to this piece is a collection of London street signs. And I’m sure that you’ll recognize the names of many of those London streets from Abbey Road to Piccadilly Circus and everything in between! Just reading the names brings back beautiful memories of the old city and those classic routemasters.

Do you also have a fondness for the classic London bus? Or does this print remind you of your favorite places in London? I do hope you’ll take a moment to share what strikes you most about this British art?

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.
