Description

Although the process was lengthy and definitely challenging, I feel like I have learnt so much about the city that I have spent my entire life in and thought I knew so well. I have also poured in a great deal of my own experiences in London and have included references to a many of my favourite bands, films, books and places in the city. I hope others will also find something new when they look at my work. IMAGE GALLERY

I had to come up with very inventive and resourceful drawing positions. I like to draw everything by hand using fineliner pens. Having completed the drawing, I then had my work scanned and began the extremely lengthy and arduous process of photoshopping and correcting blurred lines, smudges, pencil marks, rewriting words and fixing spelling mistakes, etc. This process took 3 months and was probably the hardest part of creating the piece, as it was so tedious and was during the glorious heat wave. It was also not helped by the fact I am dyslexic and terrible at spelling. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their podcast recommendations, without which I may have gone insane. THE FUN BIT... COLOURING IN

The strong, vivid colours guarantee a pleasing and high quality appearance that is reliable and long lasting. The wallpaper is PVC free and is printed using HP's Latex inks ensuring you get a more environmentally friendly mural compared to one produced with solvent inks. It is also odor-free making it safe for all rooms in the home and commercial interiors where the initial solvent smell would be an issue such as schools, restaurants, cafes and offices. The ultra smooth finish and the latex base of the inks provide vivid colour graphics with high-definition detail. Did you know that Cher used to live in Wapping? Or that Karl Marx used to live on Soho’s Dean Street? Or that UK Garage began inside an Elephant & Castle pub? These are exactly the kind of fun facts you’ll discover as you admire Cally’s map. Cally says colouring is “the fun part”

We could spend hours looking at every brilliant detail of this beautiful hand-illustrated map. We’re seriously not surprised that it took the artist, Cally Lathey, a dedicated 5 months to complete it! She drew the entire map using only fineliners and marker pens (plus heaps of talent and an incredible eye for detail). It sure is far more pleasant on the eye that the tube maps we glare at on a daily basis. From the colourful lights at Granary Square, to the elephant and castle at Elephant and Castle, we could spend hours finding the wonderful quirks in this map! Making the Illustrated Map of London History and Culture, my latest piece, has been, by far, the most challenging work I have completed to date. The map took me 11 months from start to finish. In that time we endured the freezing 'Beast from the East', celebrated a Royal wedding, had a glorious heatwave (known as summer in most countries) and football very nearly came home. I also got engaged and moved house. A lot can happen in one year.Our pre-pasted wallpaper from HP needs no additional adhesive and is so simple to install that you won't need to pay for a commercial decorator to do it for you (although we have fitters available should you wish - call us on 01993 880 939 to discuss). There are also references to famous Londoners throughout, as well as a few nods to brilliant boozers, green spaces and even legendary pie and mash shops. I like to colour by hand using Promarker and fineliner pens. I prefer to use this tactile physical method, rather then add colour on the computer. Plus, I am such a pen geek and genuinely got excited when I got to go and buy new colours and styles. Due to the large size of the map (it is almost A0 in size), I had to abandon the table and opt for colouring on the floor. The last section of the map I coloured in was the Thames. For some reason I always do this. Once the image was scanned in again, I had it proofread several times more (big thanks to my wonderful family and friends) and then I was finally ready to get it printed. A LEARNING EXPERIENCE Drawing inspiration from her favourite places in the city, as well as her favourite London bands and artists, the finished product is truly mesmerising. You could look at it 1,000 times and always notice something new. South West London
