A black and white print of my illustration of the most famous contemporary landmarks on Liverpool's infamous Penny Lane.
Great as a gift for any Beatles fan, or as a gift for someone in the L18 area. It could also make a lovely graduation gift for anyone graduating from Liverpool (especially if they've lived nearby in student accommodation).
I drew this illustration by hand, using pen and ink, and then digitally manipulated to come up with the final image. It features the Penny Lane sign, A Slower Space, the Penny Lane Development Trust gates, the new Derby and Rathbone Halls, Dovedale Towers, Penny Lane Fish & Chips, Penny Lane Wine Bar, Tony Slavin's barbers, Sergeant Pepper's Bistro, the Magical Mystery Tour Bus, the old bank (on the corner of Smithdown Place), Tavern Company (on Smithdown Road) and St Barnabas Church.
I drew this image after moving house, to where I now live, very close to Penny Lane. After walking past these iconic landmarks every day - some of which are immortalised in the song "Penny Lane", I thought I really needed to draw them. The list of landmarks was collated after asking local residents for their input - and it's worth bearing in mind that "Penny Lane" often refers to the local area, rather than that one street. I've tried to stick mostly to landmarks on Penny Lane, but there are a few buildings that are in the vicinity that I have chosen to include (well, I had to include a barbers and a bank, didn't I?!).
You can add a coloured background and/or a single line of text if you like - to truly customise the print.
The standard print is approx 210mm x 300mm and fits into any off the shelf A4 sized frame. The large print is approx 300mm x 420mm and will fit into an A3 frame.
It's printed digitally onto high quality archival paper which will not fade or discolour. It will arrive unframed, in a hardbacked envelope.
Also available as a card or as wedding or party invites.
Please note that the frame is not included.
