What’s your favourite StEx art that you made? What do you like about it?
You know, this is a question that is even difficult to answer, because to be honest, I like all my legacy, all my arts, because I love to draw, since I was a little boy.
But, one of the drawings I like the most is my drawings of the coaches, because I have a certain special affection for them, there are four (not counting the sleepers) beautiful, cute, adorable girls, and I really like them
The 2nd & 3rd Class Sleepers

Tassita (2017 Workshop) 💜
And bonus: an alternate edit for the Sleepers drawing
Behold, some StEx art I started in March and completed yesterday!
1st picture: Graceland (fem!Greaseball from the 2024 London production, or what I imagined her to look like), Tacitus (male!Tassita), Cherry (Red Dinah from some non-replicas) and Strike the Mail Van (1983 previews). Strike is based on the GWR Brake Post Office stowage van at Didcot, and his design is a mix between ouji and dark academia, very tweedy and brown.
2nd picture: my take on Carioca the Brazilian Engine from the Mexican production (added some elements found in Rio Carnival costumes worn by Samba dancers), Aisling and Swapna the 3rd and 2nd Class Sleepers (early London 1984 production, also my designs) and Beatrice the Double Decker Coach (Bi-Decker from the 1983 workshops). Beatrice's design is very late 1960's and Twiggy-ish, and wears tortoiseshell glasses.
MEN, I’M BACK!
