About This Image

Anyone who knows me or follows my artwork knows that I’m quite fond of those brilliant red British Phone booths. I liked their design and eye-catching color long before I had ever seen one in person. So, it’s a foregone conclusion that on any trip to the UK, I’m going to hunt for those beautiful British icons!

You know something has become symbolic of a place when they still exist long after their purpose has passed. Credit where credit is due, the British phone booth is a functional work of art. It’s the marriage of a beautiful design with a public utility. But in our day and age where anyone who wants a phone has one in their pocket, their reason for still existing clearly has entered the realm of nostalgia and art. Many of the truly classic survivors are now listed English heritage buildings. Do you think anyone 70 years ago ever dreamed a phone booth would be a protected building?

And you further know something has surpassed the realm of its original purpose when you find them in the streets and pubs of far away places. I’ve run across my share of British phone booths in British pubs in the states. Of course, the brilliant red color makes them an eye-catching piece of decor, but beyond that it’s the design that screams Britain for any Anglophile!

I based this textured art piece of a British phone booth off one of my photos of one of the old classic Telephone Boxes from along the banks of the Thames in London. As the title suggests, I was going for a whimsical illustrated feel to the final picture and I’m very happy not just with the colors and textures but the over-all simplicity of it while still really capturing and speaking to a locale, Great Britain.

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.
