Serco Prize 'Secret London'. Jeremy Bentham


The poster illustration of Jeremy Bentham was shortlisted for the Serco Prize 'Secret London' exhibition this year.


 Jeremy Bentham the forward thinking philosopher and reformer was a fascinating subject to illustrate.
Read  more about Jeremy Bentham here.


The pen and ink drawings were made on site in front of his cabinet in The Cloisters Building in UCL and whilst having lunch at the Jeremy Bentham public house around the corner in University Street. The drawings were composed and coloured digitally.









My illustration exhibited at the Serco Prize "River" exhibition last year.2011
