More London ideas, thought there might be a ‘farm tier’ where they could grow crops. Kinda liked the typical bucolic farming scene against a massive industrial backdrop.pic.twitter.com/ZD0Ejxq56m

Shot of St Paul’s crowning the top of London. Trying to get a snapshot of a thousand years of a city’s architectural styles is tricky. Big fan of that Mary Poppins/Peter Pan London rooftops overview so I tried to incorporate a bit of that here.pic.twitter.com/e4dfLL2Ak0

This was the final London street painting I did (and the last piece I did on the project). Trying to get a sense of that ‘facadism’ that’s creeping through London right now. Along with the feeling of being inside a giant machine.pic.twitter.com/PpIFsaU1KM

And finally (phew), airship sketches. I did dozens and dozens of these, some of which ended up as part of the Green Storm Air Fleet. Which got destroyed after about 10 seconds’ screen time

And that’s it. Hope you’ve enjoyed looking at this stuff as much as I have sharing it. It was a dream project to be part of, made some great friends along the way, and got to spend a chunk of time living in New Zealand (the most beautiful country on the planet)
