A Tropical Rainforest

On my travels around London this week I came across this rather splendid window near South Kensington Tube station.

The tropical, mythical, semi-jurassic scene, called 'Rainforest', is the creation of the wonderful illustrator Jake Blanchard for Estate Agents Douglas and Gordon and their Harrington Road Street Gallery.

Blanchard's graphic forest is a fantastic array of mint, lime, grass, maroon, purple and turquoise plants and leaves. And I love the odd mix of creatures hiding amongst the foliage, a bear, brightly feathered birds, a goat and a diplodocus! Brilliant!
