Tim Sanders – London Scrawling
A local artist who has been sketching moments from London life as he travels around the city.
“On the Underground and in the woods, gardens, parks and streets, London is a place is full of animals. Human and others. I like making drawings of them.
There’s nature and human nature everywhere. I think it’s very easy to miss all of this wonder as we walk or drive or commute around our city.
I’ve always thought a really good way of staying alert to the constant drama that surrounds us is to make drawings of it.
This small collection is a reflection of my fascination with all this stuff.
I hope you like it.”
The pieces on display are mostly made with India ink and watercolour washes.
Tim has worked for many years for a wide range of publications, including the Independent,
the Guardian , Observer, Mail on Sunday, Telegraph and others as a cartoonist and
illustrator.
He has illustrated a number of books for children and adults and made several animated
videos.
Tim has also worked as a ‘reportage’ illustrator producing drawings on site in the UK, China
and Mexico. He has made three trips to the West Bank in Palestine as artist in residence
with visiting delegations which have resulted in several exhibitions.
He has taught art and drawing to all ages from nursery to nursing home and was until
recently artist in residence at Willowbrook primary school in Leyton where he painted five
large scale murals.
He has just completed a mural in Tilbury Street next to Leyton Midland Road overground
station.
