Vic Lee is an artist, illustrator, storyteller, wordsmith and mapmaker. Vic earned a degree in graphic design from Nottingham Trent and spent 14 years in graphics before beginning his art career in 2011 with limited edition prints of London streets. These hand-illustrated prints featuring buildings and typography sold out quickly, with purchasers become clients. He has since created artworks, including murals, for some of the world's biggest brands, companies, and institutions, including Nike, Mercedes, JLR, The Tate and Virgin Atlantic. viclee.co.uk / @vicleelondon
