New River Walk

Here's my entry for this year's Serco Prize for Illustration 2012 which had the theme of Secret London.  I chose the New River Walk in Canonbury, a picturesque waterway that runs near our flat and is a little oasis of calm from the city streets. I often see a big old heron hanging out with the ducks when walking through so made it the centrepiece of the illustration with the London Transport imagery worked into the borders. The piece didn't make it into the exhibition this year unfortunately but them's the breaks.
