Portrait of Mark Metcalf illustrator of Lake District Posters in Maryport , Cumbria

In 2004, I graduated with a BA in Illustration. To make a living, I became a graphic designer, building my career over the last 20 years. During this time, I gained experience across all areas of design, photography, web design & marketing.
 

In Spring 2025, I took a leap of faith to pursue my original passion for illustration. I printed my first six illustrations of the Lake District and my home town of Maryport and started selling at markets and art fairs.
 

My artwork is inspired by my love for the Lake District and its surrounding areas, designed in the style of 1930’s railway posters with a contemporary twist.
 

Each poster you purchase helps me continue my journey and supports me in developing my marketing, website, and promotional materials. Over the next 20 years, my goal is to illustrate the 214 Wainwright Fells and the Solway Coast where I live.
