New York Marathon Travel Poster
New York Marathon Travel Poster

Starting at the Verrazano-Narrows bridge on Staten Island, the New York Marathon winds its way through Brooklyn, Queens, skimming the Bronx and into Manhattan. What a route.
I’ve tried to capture the energy at the start of the race – people from all nations packed onto the bridge, full of adrenaline and hope – oblivious to the lactic acid build up awaiting them on Fifth Avenue. I originally started this illustration with a different angle in mind (looking north over the bridge from ground level) but after a few hours work I realised that at this angle this bridge could be anywhere! What I needed was Manhattan in the distance. Obvious really, and the artwork certainly did take on a new energy once I'd cottoned on to this. I really loved doing the city skyline, but was deeply moved not to be doing the Twin Towers.
I've never been to New York but I hope to visit one day with my family. It will not be via the NYC marathon though, I do not cultivate that kind of stamina. Huge kudos to anyone who has run it though. Huge.

Love these prints! I completed the NYC and London marathons a few years back and could not have nicer mementos of the two occasions. I love their abstract style. The quality of the prints is excellent and delivery was within a week.
Thank you Georgina.
Just beautiful! Great quality and exceeded my expectations!
Added this to Georgina’s London marathon poster and they look awesome together. Getting many compliments from people but more importantly I enjoy looking at them and remembering the races!!
