TfL — Andrew Hudson

TfL shakes up its safety messaging with striking 3D posters from Andrew Hudson VCCP London and illustrator Andrew Hudson have refreshed TfL’s Public Transport Safety messaging with some striking graphics.

Here’s a link that mentions the artist Andrew Hudson who designed the signs. www.itsnicethat.com/news/vccp-lo...

They were intrepid travelers in their VW bus.

Large poster from a London Overground station that reads in bold lettering “Take Care Closing Doors”.

Large public safety poster from the London Underground that reads in bold lettering “Mind the Gap”.

Large poster in a tunnel in the London Underground that reads in bold lettering “Slow down and walk”.

I love these transit safety signs I saw in London. Wish I’d snapped pics of more, but I’m sure these are available on the interwebs. But where’s the fun in that?
And BTW, you had better take care because those train doors CLOSE! #TransportForLondon #PublicSafety #GraphicDesign

Thankful that my parents didn’t die of dysentery when they moved to Oregon in the 1960s.

Stone wall at Dover Castle incorporating fist-sized chunks of black flint.

Main entrance to Dover castle in the south of England.

Ancient Roman lighthouse from about 50 CE. The Romans used the local black flint, sandstone, and reddish Roman bricks in its construction. My children for scale. The lighthouse was originally about 24 meters tall (80 feet). From this view, there is an arched doorway and two arched windows above. My son and daughter are standing at the base of the structure.

View from the top of The White Cliffs of Dover. The path is seen in the left and is light colored due the the local chalk. In the upper left are the distinctive white cliffs. The seam is a blue-green color. Visible that day, but not apparent in the photo was France.

On our trip to the UK, my son had the idea to walk the White Cliffs of Dover beach path and visit castles along the way. The cliffs and castles did not disappoint! Of course I was really excited about all that chalk! And black flint! And black flint used in ancient buildings! #EarthScienceTeacher

I’m really good at raising one eyebrow at a time without having to show visible effort or make a silly face. Pretty sure that won’t show up when I am a fossil someday.

Drawing of a thylacine. Sketch is black and white ink with multicolored fur. This carnivorous marsupial is shown standing on all fours. Writing on sketch reads: “Drawn from taxidermied thylacine at Hunterian Museum. Glasgow, August 2025.”

Drawing of cheerful dimetrodon. Inked in black and white with shading in multicolored crosshatching. Text on drawing reads “This is from a dimetridon [sic…I misspelled the name of this critter] cutout mod at Hunterian museum. Original is by Vernon Edwards. The models were sold at the Natural History Museum in the mid-1920s.” At the bottom of the page I wrote: “feeling sick, so I stayed in Coatbridge.”

Just got back from a wonderful trip the the UK with my children. Lots of museums, lots of exploring. In Glasgow we went to the #HunterianMuseum where there is a really good natural history collection on display. Including some drawings I did here. #SciArt #PaleoArt

Ursula LeGuin?

Wonderful details!

At least they built beautiful libraries.

My coteacher was a media studies major in college, so now in our Earth science classes we show related disaster movies. Is so fun, students are very engaged, and there is lots to unpack! We showed San Andreas too. Can’t wait to watch your video!

You’ll all have seen the many announcements and PR pieces from #ColossalBiosciences. There are reasons to be concerned about the general message promoted by CB, one being that it is seen >by some< (US politicians in particular) as meaning that we can devalue conservation. A 🧵 1/n

I love their books! Definitely the kind of books you are happy to read over and over again!

Wow! So it’s not just non-existent academic research and case law now.

I’ve lived here for almost 40 years, but I’m from Portland. It’s a much smaller city and there is a lot of public support for climate friendly infrastructure projects as opposed to here.

All this is tough in such a big city with entrenched interests. Wealthy folks who are pretty happy with the system as is. Also I can only imagine how hard it is to make BIG changes here.

And/or…make it less convenient to drive (it already is). The transit system is already pretty decent in Manhattan. The outer boroughs need more public transit investment too. Also flooding resilience structures. But…I’ll bet there are projects in the works that I don’t know about.

Yes, but also investing in a climate-resilient public transportation system will increase ridership and get more cars off the road. NYC is huge and has aging infrastructure, so the sooner the better. The city has taken major steps, but we need more still.

Not to be a party pooper, but this mighty created is also now a vital science communicator, perhaps helping to inspire some awe and wonder for the natural world in people who would not otherwise visit a natural history museum.

Yes! Minimum is $5/month and you get access to tons of amazing shows!

PBS also makes lots of educational resources based on their shows.

Amazing texture and detail!

I’m a high school science and sometimes comics teacher…thanks for creating this amazing account! I’m in awe of the drawing tutorials you create. Sharing your account and how to sign up for your digital magazine today at a workshop for using comics in science education.

Okay…sold!

Oof! Pretty hard to sequence DNA from fossils that old!

Really fun poster! Can I ask what the incorrect info is?

Love the grumpy expression on the ammonite!
