This is great on a bike- but not great whilst trying to design a guide, where you truly find just how complicated and un-regimented the streets of London are. I’m not 100% how useful the guide will prove as a functional map- I really tried to make it so, but hopefully you’ll think it looks nice and is worth the £4 (four quid!!!).</p>http://adrianjohnson.tumblr.com/post/50496437080http://adrianjohnson.tumblr.com/post/50496437080Wed, 15 May 2013 15:13:27 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2b8f7afbc138124107fe024219b3b49a/tumblr_mlai47dScy1qe22mjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I’m doing a couple of talks later this month- first up is for Playdesk on 25th.

In launching the agency the question on everyone’s<br/>lips was always ‘Who is Rupert Ray?’</p> <p class="mb14">We posed this question to a list of invited artists to illuminate the historical character<br/>or to invent a new myth. Each of the artists responses tells us something about<br/>the character and something about the artist.</p> <p class="mb14">By some accident of fate Alex and Caroline both happen to be (albeit distantly)<br/>related to this historical character. We love the story, the myth and the spirit of<br/>restless adventure he displayed so it seemed most appropriate to name the<br/>company after him. You can read the biography in the about section of our website.</p> <p><a href="http://www.rupertray.com/" title="www.rupertray.com" target="_blank"><a href="http://www.rupertray.com">www.rupertray.com</a></a></p>http://adrianjohnson.tumblr.com/post/23229287386http://adrianjohnson.tumblr.com/post/23229287386Thu, 17 May 2012 15:33:20 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0za4yZzSN1qe22mjo1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Another illustration for the grooming section of GQ Germany.</p>http://adrianjohnson.tumblr.com/post/19394833914http://adrianjohnson.tumblr.com/post/19394833914Fri, 16 Mar 2012 12:46:00 +0000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0xdg2aJ091qe22mjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Limited edition screen print for @theSWFC at #pickmeuplondon.
