About
Too Drew is the illustrator handle for Brixton-based art director and illustrator Drew Charsley. And no, he has no idea why he's writing about myself in the 3rd person.
After years of procrastinating, I finally turned a dream project into reality: a hand-crafted, illustrated map of London that celebrates the city’s landmarks, history and colourful characters. And it's never going to be finished; it's always being added to, so many of the prints I sell are totally unique to the owner.
The map took about three months of planning and drewing to create. Every property, park and pigeon is hand drawn and coloured. There's a key below showing what each individual element is.
Giclée prints are produced locally on high-quality archival paper and every order is packed and shipped by hand, right here in Brixton.
Thanks for supporting my art, it really means a lot to me.
