C Day

C Day had a habit of sketching on the back of bus tickets, tiny, sharp lines that captured faces in transit. He made his name printing theatrical crowds: figures in top hats and shawls jostling for space in the cheap seats. If you’ve ever stood in the back of the Old Vic during a matinée, you’ve seen his trick, people half in shadow, half in light, always moving.

Look up his H Beard Print Collection to see how he turned a single night at the theatre into a whole world.
