Our story started when we took our son to the UK in September 2016 when he was five years old. We packed pads and pencils to distract him during the time we spent in London, assuming that he wouldn't be interested in sightseeing.

The first day began with a trip to Saint Paul’s Cathedral, where, after the tour, we found ourselves on a roof deck opposite. Whilst we took photos, our son proceeded to open his pad and draw four different versions of the cathedral.

Whilst in London he drew Buckingham Palace, The London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, Tower Bridge and Borough Markets. His focus made him oblivious to the interest of curious onlookers.

We loved the simplicity of his line drawings, so on our return to Australia, we scanned our favourites, and added dashes of colour. The Boy wanted to do more, so he went online, chose the cities he was interested in and picked four buildings for each which he then drew.

By the age of six, he had produced some 50 drawings of buildings from 14 cities around the world. From these, we created the ‘The City Series’ of A4 prints. These can be viewed in the gallery and if you would like to enquire about purchasing, please do so via our contact page.

As a teenager, he’s now into science, maths and engineering, with a massive helping of Dungeons and Dragons thrown in. We can’t wait to see what his future holds.
