The place hasn't really changed much in the almost hundred years since this photo was taken. Add a roundabout, a few street signs and a police van instead of the horse and cart and you're pretty much there. I love old photos!
I thought I'd submit this for Illustration Friday's current word of the week: 'fuel'. This is a bit of a stretch I know - but the picture does include a car, so I think I can just about get away with it.
The writing on the bottom left is a typeface I made using my Great Grandad's handwriting on postcards he sent home during the First World War.
I haven't decided who the chap with the impressive handlebar tash is yet.

Awesome :) I ove the character :) he fits in perfectly
a bit of a stretch? no, it fits! I can smell the petrol fumes from here. Nice work Sam, very sensitive matching of media.
Thanks for the kind comments!
This is fantastic! I love the combination of illustration and old photograph.
Thanks Ruth!
Wow, I missed this last week. It's really cool how you merged the drawing into the old photograph. Very, very cool. Love your drawing style, too.
Ahh Frimley Green! Great picture Sam x
