About

A series of front on train illustrations drawn on an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil while using the application Procreate.

IMPORTANT
Due to La Poste in France recently not showing any due care or attention with the deliveries of the artworks, there will be no more deliveries to France for the foreseeable future and possibly forever. This is a real shame as my drawings are very popular in France. Brexit has also played its part with postage charges constantly going up, and then there’s the custom charges that are completely out of my control.

IMPORTANT

Étant donné que La Poste en France n'a récemment fait preuve d'aucun soin ou attention dans les livraisons des œuvres d'art, il n'y aura plus de livraisons en France dans un avenir prévisible et peut-être pour toujours. C'est vraiment dommage car mes dessins sont très appréciés en France. Le Brexit a également joué son rôle avec la hausse constante des frais de port, sans compter les frais de douane qui échappent totalement à mon contrôle.

I use to be a designer for 19 years in my previous life. In 2014 I changed my career and joined the railway family. These illustrations are the perfect amalgamation of my art/design background and passion for the railway.

You get loads of side on or 3D perspectives of locomotives, but I’ve always loved the head on look, the face of a train. I started off with the Inter-City 125 because these iconic trains ignited my passion for the railway.

I’ve drawn my favourite trains from the UK, France and Germany, but the list for future drawings is endless. I’ve been commissioned by Hitachi and friends to draw specific trains. I’m always happy to draw a certain train that you want and love. Maybe the first train you worked or favourite train you’ve traveled on. And each train can be drawn in any of its liveries.

Drawings can be purchased and printed on quality paper stock in either A5, A4 and A3 sizes. Not all drawings are printed in each size, but if you want a particular drawing in a size that's not available please get in contact with me.

The portfolio will just keep growing and growing, follow me on Twitter @VinPink2 for updates and new drawings. And email me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for more information.

European orders

My dear customers in the European Union are greatly valued and I appreciate all your past and future business.

Sadly, the UK is no longer a member of the EU and doing business is not so easy, proving particularly difficult for small business.

I am, of course still happy to send orders to the EU. Royal Mail prices have increased, but since most orders are relatively low value, it seems easy enough to post items.

However, if your delivery address is in an EU country please be aware that you may be asked to pay additional duty or fees before you can receive your goods. Most seem to be in region of €13 to €20 in custom charges.

It is very difficult to find information about what will happen when small parcels are sent from the UK to the EU, this page will be updated as the situation becomes clearer.
