Here is a small collection of drawings of my very good friend Mr Edward Pope. These drawings were made during many long conversations with Edward in Oxford in the winter of 2012 and early spring of 2013.

In this collection the conversations and the drawings had a way of fusing together as Edward told me long and colourful stories from his life, from the lives of his friends and from the lives of the people he is researching as part of his historical studies of the London subculture in the18th Century.

Edward has long been a chronicler of peoples lives, through his songs, conversations and historical research particularly of the English subcultures and alternative scenes of which he has been a part since he turned 18 in London in 1968.
