Jenni Sparks X We Built This City

Here at Mapology Guides we are big fans of illustrator Jenni Sparks who illustrated our What's Bugging You? map.

Over the weekend I stopped by We Built This City , the curated pop-up shop revolutionising London souvenirs. At their Carnaby Street site you'll find wonderful city-inspired goods, all from homegrown creatives. One such creative is super talented Jenni Sparks.

Over the weekend, Jenni created a big canvas entitled: Summer in London, which she hand drew at the Carnaby Street pop-up. It's always such a pleasure to see Jenni at work. Her bold strokes, humorous illustrations and witty text make for an inspirational mini masterclass.

I wish I could have stayed all day watching Jenni at what she does best. Here are some of the wonderful details for you.

The pop-up will stay open for the whole of July. If you are in the area, pop along to see what other artists they feature might pop in and do a free-hand session. Check their website for up-to-date info. and directions how to find them.
