ABOUT THE ARTWORK
2002
Pen and ink
A3
Back in 1988, as part of Australia's Bicentenary celebrations, a large steam festival was held in Melbourne. 'The Flying Scotsman' engine from the UK was shipped across as a special guest and I was privileged to see it fly past on one of its journeys through the suburbs of Melbourne. I drew the engine in pen and ink back in 2002. It evokes memories of the grace and elegance of a bygone age - a time when function and beauty embraced.

The Flying Scotsman
Most of my original artworks are available in archival quality print form and are printed using the giclée process by ACME et al in Steels Creek, Victoria. Each stage of the printing process is carefully overseen by James, the printer (with nearly three decades of industry experience), to ensure the highest quality product. These prints are made to last for decades with minimal fading and are printed on high-end, sturdy papers.
Because the prints are made on demand and printed individually rather being mass-produced, please allow between two to three weeks for processing and delivery of your order (or a little longer for customers outside of Australia).
Please note that framing is not included with print purchases.
