Big Reveal | Evening in London

Those who solved the coordinates from my original artwork competition uncovered the next print destination…Piccadilly Circus…and here it is! My latest typed scene captures a brightly-lit evening at London’s iconic Piccadilly Circus, a landmark in the heart of the city. This piece continues my series of evening cityscapes, following on from Times Square, Central Park, and Evening in Tokyo.

What is extra special about this project is for the very first time, I have used my newly restored travelling typewriter (pictured below), a beautiful red 1950’s Olympia SM3. Housed within its original blue felt travel case, complete with detachable legs that transform it into a working table, this machine has allowed me to overcome one of the biggest challenges in my practice: the mobility of moving my heavy typewriters to create on-location artworks with ease.

Evening in London took four weeks to complete and represents an important step forward in how I create work when I’m out and about. The piece was created 90% in my studio and 10% on location at Piccadilly Circus. I would have loved to spend more time working on location, but unfortunately the weather here in the UK has been persistently wet since the beginning of January, with only brief spells of sunshine. As with my previous works, the scene is jam-packed with hundreds of individuals, each contributing to the organised chaos.

I ask you one small favour…

The video for this piece is now live on Instagram (link here)…please take a look. If you spot a hidden message or detail that resonates with you, please leave a like and share it in the comments. I genuinely enjoy reading how people connect with these locations and moments in their own way.

Instagram has changed in recent months, and unfortunately not for the better, especially for artists like myself who rely on sharing new work. Even if you already follow me, there is now a real chance you may not be shown new typewriter artworks when they are released. So why is this?

In short, new videos are increasingly being favoured when creators pay to boost them, which is something I have always chosen not to do.

I have always believed that social media should be a more democratic space, where people simply choose what they enjoy and that naturally finds its audience, rather than visibility being driven by spend.

So if you do enjoy the work, especially the recent Piccadilly Circus piece, I would genuinely appreciate you taking a moment to like or leave a comment when you see it. With over 25,000 of you here on the newsletter, even a single like today would make a meaningful difference to the reach, helping ensure the work is seen by the people who chose to follow it in the first place.

As a child, I was captivated by Where’s Waldo, and this piece draws inspiration from those dense, character-filled worlds. With Evening in London, I have embraced a “search and discover” approach, inviting you to explore the artwork closely. Rather than searching for Where’s Waldo, you will find me hidden within the scene, positioned beside the iconic Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain, wearing my signature red jumper and typing away exactly where I sat while creating the piece.

Take a Closer Look 🔍

The up-close shot below reveals some hidden typed messages and details.

Within the crowd, countless miniature stories unfold. For example, you may notice a cyclist, completely unaware, about to plough straight into a gentleman tying his shoelaces on the path. Nearby, a phone thief makes a quick escape through the crowd, closely followed by a police officer beginning the chase, a subtle nod to the realities of modern city life here in London. Elsewhere, a man calmly feeds a flock of pigeons.

As with all my works, this piece is packed with over a hundred hidden typed messages for you to discover. Some reference the history of Piccadilly Circus, such as “1893”, marking the installation of the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain. Others reflect the quirks of everyday London life, including “finally not raining”, inspired by the rare clear day when I worked on location. You may also find subtle references to the London Underground, including “Bakerloo line”, which runs directly beneath the Circus, alongside more cryptic and humorous nods to recent Underground stories featured in the news.

The up-close image above reveals just a small selection of the hidden typed messages and details embedded throughout the scene. Like all my works, Evening in London is designed to be explored slowly. The longer you look, the more you will uncover.
