The Joy of Cycling: Nominated for AOI Cycling in London Prize
The Joy of Cycling, now scandalising the crowds at the London Transport Museum
A few weeks ago I was delighted to find my entry to the Association of Illustrators Cycling in London poster competition had been shortlisted as a prize-winner.
Last night Transport for London graciously opened it’s doors to a throng of illustrators and transport enthusiasts eager to hear who had bagged the top prize. While The Joy of Cycling didn’t win the prize on paper, I like to think it’s raunchy content captured the public’s imagination.
Overall, the standard of work was incredible, and I couldn’t resist snapping a couple of my favorite posters for posterity. Some are a bit blurry, but I assure you it was the low lighting, not the Chablis.
The London Transport Museum, what a perfect exhibition space!
The London Transport Museum was great, and I made sure I got some serious exhibition time in before the winners were announced and/or the wine kicked in.

TFL's answer to the Vélib'
For the bicycle enthusiasts out there, Transport for London’s answer to Paris’ Vélib’ was on display. It looked like a very sturdy specimen indeed. My girlfriend looked on sadly as her boyfriend insisted in snapping it from every angle (for want of everyone’s time I’ve only posted two of the images).

Ha ha! Glad you got that poster through, it was great. :)
Well done, your poster was inspired and humorous. I can connect!
Congratulations! :)

Airside went along, as Jamie’s Joy of Cycling poster was short-listed for the top prize. While he didn’t win, it was great to see his design adorn the walls of the LTM as one of the 50 illustrations chosen from over 1,000 entries. Check out some more photos from the evening and the other short-listed prints over at Jamie’s blog. [...]
