No. 060, in sixteen platesCountryside Sketches

Countryside Sketches uses nothing but a fine black pen on a cream ground. No shading, no colour, no fills. Fields are rows of parallel strokes that bend over hills like corduroy; trees are lollipop crowns stuffed with tiny scalloped leaves; the sky is either empty or ruled with long vertical lines that fall like rain or a curtain. Each plate puts one small vehicle somewhere near the edge, so the landscape does the talking and the traveller is a footnote.

The cast of vehicles is surprisingly varied. Avenue of Furrows sends a sports coupe straight at you down a road that dissolves into furrows between two clipped hedges. Ruled Sky and Falling Lines draw a rear-winged coupe with the unmistakable silhouette of a Porsche 911, while Wedge Under the Hill parks a low supercar beneath a giant sweeping hatched slope. Scooter Lane has a helmeted rider on a Vespa-style scooter curling along a looped road. Circle Sun leaves a lorry tiny under a hand-drawn ring of a sun, and Harvest Truck carries a load of produce past dotted crop rows.

Most plates leave the upper half almost bare, which makes these unusually polite Lock Screens: the clock sits on blank cream, and the drawing gathers below where the dock and widgets live. Black text on cream is easy to read, so light mode is the natural fit. If you prefer a dark Home Screen, Car on the Horizon and Ruled Sky carry enough line in the top half to give white labels something to sit on.

This series is for designers, pen-and-notebook people and drivers who prefer the B-road to the motorway. Four of the sixteen plates are free in full resolution, and the other twelve are premium.
