Artist creates stunning Merseyside prints after helping out friend

A Merseyside artist created a stunning selection of prints of iconic Merseyside landmarks when creating wedding invitations for a friend.

Sefton Park (Liam Devereux)

Liam Devereux's Liverpool Prints features seven original snapshots of areas of the city and beyond as they've never been seen before.

Liverpool Lime Street (Liam Devereux)

Liam, now working as a designer in London having grown up in Southport, said he had wanted to take on Liverpool as a subject for some time and the wedding artwork gave him the impetus he needed.

Formby Pinewoods (Liam Devereux)

He said: "I thought we could use the invites to tell a bit of a story, and the initial illustrations were designed specifically with the wedding in mind ; guests arriving at Lime St Station, a ceremony at St George’s Hall, the reception in one of the renovated warehouses, and a city going to rest in the moonlight (well some of it resting anyway).

Penny Lane (Liam Devereux)

"However I also wanted to expand out of the city centre and look to places that had shaped so much of my memories – Sefton Park, the pine woods in Formby, my home town Southport to be honest there’s so much more I would still like to do.

Southport Pier (Liam Devereux)

"The printing was absolutely key: It makes such a difference to the finished product. I went through so many tests, yet the paper I’m using now makes such a difference compared to the other papers, and I managed to find a great guy on the Wirral with tons of experience who has helped in getting these absolutely right."

The prints are available for sale in a limited run in Liam's shop here
