Tubelines Journey Mapping
Limited Edition Prints 1 - 8 Aug 2025 Station to station
Every drawing is a unique record from the start to the finish of a journey.
Stephen takes arm breaks at each stop as drawing vertically for extended
periods can be physically challenging. Fellow commuters often watch the
work being created and appreciate the opportunity to see an artist at work,
some even ask for a copy for themselves as a record of their daily commute.
Stephen’s next challenge is to map the Circle Line, drawing from the centre

Each original pen drawing is on heavy watercolour paper and presented in a
black frame. Signed limited edition prints are available. Read more -
