Intricate Ink

I first became aware of Vic Lee’s illustration work when he drew all the historic shopfronts along my local market street in Central London (he made quite a few). 

Originally a freelance graphic designer working with many of London’s agencies, Vic harnessed what he’d learnt in in the business to pursue his love of illustration. His great variety of lettering styles are often penned amidst intricate decoration. The compositions are a real feast for the eye. I’m sure if you looked at a any piece number of times you’d always spot something new.

His work has appeared on bicycles, billboards, windows and magazines – there’s even a jigsaw for grown-ups. The work I love most however is the lavish murals which he’s produced for various companies.
