Poplar Swimming Baths Drawing

Poplar HARCA is an organisation that is working on the regeneration of Poplar located close to Canary Wharf in London. The poplar map commission was to show the new facilities that were being constructed and where they will be, so that local residents can see what is being planned, rather than looking at architecture drawings or computer-generated visuals. It’s for Chrisp Street regeneration, to show what it could look like. The goal of the map was for it to be easy to read and engaging for local residents to see.

The map will be used to inform local residents/stakeholders about the new developments that will be happening in Chrisp Street, for example, the creation of cinema, refurbished market and shops. The regeneration agency plan to create a short information booklet for residents, like frequently asked questions, which the map would be used to illustrate where things will be.

The map illustration focused on the main market area of poplar and the well-known locations such as the festival of Britain Building the Clock Tower and the newly refurbished Poplar Swimming Baths. Icons and reference images were drawn upon to represent the regeneration areas of poplar and illustrated where their locations will be situated as a helpful map aid for the residents and shareholders.

Metropolitan Magazine Amsterdam Travel Map

Metropolitan Magazine Amsterdam Travel Map

Anne Frank Museum Facade Drawing

Cedar Communications got in contact to commision a map for Metropolitan magazine, which is a magazine from Eurostar. The commission was to illustrate a map of Amsterdam that combines highlights of culture and cuisine and not your usual tourist highlights. The illustrated map of Amsterdam brief was to create a visually pleasing map while at the same time being functional for people to use as well.

The locations to be illustrated for the map included the following,

Viscafe Gouden Hoek – its a stone’s throw away for the lively Westerpark’s Sculptures and skateboards, the fish restaurant is a local favorite the has a special Oyster menu and upscale fish and chips being served at this establishment.

Rijksmuseum – Five years after its epic renovation, Amsterdams golden age art trove continues to dazzle. Rembrandt’s The Night watch remains the big draw, but there’s much more besides, from intricate battleship to YSL’s Mondrian dress.

Van Gogh Museum – A penniless Vincent once paid awestruck hommage to old masters in the Rijksmuseum unaware that an institution in his own name would one day occupy the plot next door

Museum Van Loon – Once home to 17th-century painter Ferdinand Vol, this stately canal house offers a glimpse of how the other half lived, think guilded drawing rooms, beruffed family portraits, and box edged garden, plus changing exhibitions and installations by modern artists

Papeneiland – Inthe heart of the once working-class Jordan district, this waterside cafe serves a mean apple pie, the interior crammed with oil paintings and fairy lights.

De Hallem – I the Oud West district a covered food market multiplex cinema and a parade of independent shops have given a new lease of life to this Victorian tram shed. Now its a bright and breezy hive of commerce and culture

Decanter Magazine The Silverado Wine Trail visiting wineries on the way

Decanter Magazine The Silverado Wine Trail visiting wineries on the way

Decanter Magazine is a monthly publication focusing on fine wine. I was commissioned to illustrate a map of the Silverado Wine trail. It will be an illustration to go with a travel article on driving along the Silverado Wine Trail visiting wineries on the way.

The Silverado Trail that runs from Napa to Calistoga in the north of the valley. It’s named after an abandoned mining village, celebrated in the 19th century by Robert Louis Stevenson. You won’t find the same proliferation of wineries as on Highway 29, but at least you can drive in and out of them. The Trail hugs the eastern flank of the valley, with hardly any traffic lights to impede the flow. It’s also provided with cycle lanes for those who wish to combine hedonistic winery visits with gentle exercise.

Wineries listed:

Duckhorn – “The tasting room occupies a spacious house just south of the Trail…relaxing atmosphere, either indoors or on the verandah”

Joseph Phelps – former cattle ranch; gorgeous redwood winery houses a spacious visitors’ center, and a fine terrace overlooks hills and vineyards; also have an in-house chef (Brian Sutton, not named here)

Quintessa – “beautiful Rutherford vineyards, and the swooping stone-faced winery set into the hillside”

Miner Family – Rhône varieties; “its tasting room is rarely crowded and the staff are only too happy to chat as well as to pour”

Robert Sinskey – “all tasting flights are accompanied by nibbles prepared in the adjoining kitchens, often by Dr. Sinskey’s daughter-in-law Maria, who has written cookbooks about seasonal food”; “Most of the grapes are estate-grown and farmed biodynamically or organically”

Stag’s Leap – “airy tasting room, with its stone walls and plate-glass windows with views onto the vines. Visitors are also welcome to view the bucolic scene from the terrace.

Gazing onto the SLV and Fay vineyards, glass in hand…”

Silverado – “The winery and lofty tasting room are perched on a knoll giving fine views of the valley and its vineyards”

Chimney Rock – house

Darioush – “…glorious, yellow-stoned, neo-Persian extravaganza of columns, porticoes, and fountains, all leading towards a lofty pillared visitor center” (which may risk being clichéd, but is probably an inevitable choice…); otherwise “tastings can also be organised in the shady gardens”

Black Stallion – “huge tasting room, a former equestrian center”; Gaspare Vineyard near the winery

It was insightful to draw this particular map for Decanter magazine, it gave me an insight into the Napa Valley wine region, It is one of my travel dreams to drive through America, I am going to add this route to my bucket list destinations.

A little village inside the capital, Stoke Newington has been rated Londoner’s favorite shopping street. But there’s plenty besides the hip clothing and lifestyle boutiques to love, including a crop of new restaurants and North London’s biggest slice of greenery, Clissold Park.

Moleskine Sketchbook inky Map Drawing of Zurich:

With diverse architecture across the city, breath-taking views and a thriving art scene, Zurich is well is well known for its banking sector and accurate Swiss time, It also has many museums and galleries to enjoy as well. During my time in this extraordinary city, I explored five destinations:

– The Grossmünster: is an Evangelical Protestant church in the Old Town of Zurich, and is one of Zurich’s most famous landmarks

– Franmunster Kirche: Founded in 853 by King Louis the German, this church with its convent was inhabited by the female members of the aristocracy of Europe. Important architectural features include the Romanesque chancel and the high vaulted transept. Its most stunning treasures are the stained glass windows

– St Peter Kirche: The St. Peter church in Zurich has the largest clock face in Europe. The clock face measures 8.7m in diameter. There are five bells dating from 1880 in the tower. Until 1911 the church tower was used as a fire watch post.

– Zurich Fountain: In Zurich, there is no need to look for a supermarket if you want a drop of water, since you can simply quench your thirst at one of Zurich’s many fountains. You can never be far away, because Zurich has the most fountains of any city in the world with approx. 1,200 drinking water fountains.
