Description: "We The People" is hand lettered based on the original lettering in the Preamble of the U.S. Constitution (my lettering is not an exact copy, but I tried to be faithful to the original document as much as possible). I applied paint in Photoshop to create a red, white, and blue version which looks great printed on dark surfaces. I must say, I am surprised at how well this version of the design has sold, and grateful to everyone who has purchased one from my shop.
Description: This is my take on the legendary Robin Hood! The Prince of Thieves done up in a Neo-Celtic style! I like the image of Robin as a Native Briton (either Saxon or Celtic) fighting the invading Normans. I used the leaves on him not just to represent camouflage in the forest, but also to draw connections to the Greenman whose archetype has often been associated with Robin.
Description: Yes, the address from which we joined the TARDIS and her crew on their adventures! This is a clean, non grubby version of the writing. Every version of this I have seen makes do with fonts, including a cursive script for the Scrap Merchant section. I chose to painstakingly copy the original hand-painted lettering from screen caps and photos of the original sign in both the pilot and first episodes of Doctor Who to create an accurate vector graphic version. What this means is, I’ve carefully replicated some of the badly painted letters of the original, but that I’ve also captured their uniqueness! There will be two other versions soonish. A grubbier version, and one replicating the look of the original wooden gates.
