Myddleton Road was once the pride of Bowes Park, the buzzing centre of the community. After decades of decline, today it blossoms again, thanks to a campaign to rejuvenate the street.

I collaborate with the association that organises the street market, creating posters, mugs and tote bags inspired to the history of Myddleton Rd and its vibrant community. It was a great pleasure to explore the neighbourhood and talk with people living and working there, collecting their stories. I shot hundreds of photos of the victorian buildings and their shops, and then I elaborate all the images and the stories I gathered to create my illustrations.

Still today, someone recognises in my poster details of their stories, old pets and friends, former inhabitants of the houses…
