The 35-year-old said his inspiration came from requests by friends

He said: “I did them last year for the Harris Open. I had loads of people asking about them. Because of the tourist information centre closing there isn’t masses of these types of things available anymore.

“So I just decided I’d do these three and see how they go.”

The first celebrates historic facts and trivia about Preston and includes some of its key place names and monuments.

A second is a colourful collage of major buildings in the city from St Walburge’s Church to Preston Bus Station.

The final print is a cartoon cover celebrating the life of Preston North End legend Sir Tom Finney.

The prints are available to buy priced £9.99 or £19.99 with a frame. There are around 250 available.
