Lewisham Pigeon

My pigeon design with the London Museum - for the borough I lived in when I first began working as a full-time artist. Lewisham was home for a few years back in the late 2000s. It was a great time; house sharing with my best mates, boozing in the Jolly Farmer, playing snooker on the High St and enjoying endless summer days in Hilly Fields. The pigeon design comes from my love of drawing alphabets - which kinda began when I lived in the Ladywell area. Once I spotted that the first and last letter of Lewisham are next to each other alphabetically, the rest was easy :) Location pics by Melvin Galapon
