Art Deco Airport Collection

Made by Me by the Sea

I have created a landside version of Croydon Airport featuring a vintage style Bedford SB bus, and an airside version that features Handley Page 42 in flight and a more complex illustration of it against the of Croydon Airport.

Thank you to M L Watts and Wikipedia Commons for the Handley Page blueprint, which I have adapted and stylised. The Handley Page is an incredibly complicated design to draw from photographs!

What has struck me is how different Art Deco style buildings can be, and how they have evolved over the years. Below are the main differences I have observed.
