Ed Isaacs' work depicts the Wolverhampton landscape
A new exhibition depicts an artist's sketches of his home city and the wider area.
Wolverhampton-based urban sketcher Ed Isaacs said he never thought he would have his own exhibition at the city's art gallery.
He first went to the gallery 40 years ago after attending a job interview in the city.
The exhibition, Drawing Places, at the Lichfield Street gallery can be seen from Saturday and runs until March.
"Local visitors will instantly recognise various scenes across Wolverhampton and the surrounding Black Country within Isaacs' work," the art gallery said.
"Nearly 40 years ago I came to Wolverhampton to be interviewed for a job with the council," Isaacs said.
"After the interview I was asked to stay on for the rest of the day so I could hear the result.
"During the break I visited the art gallery for the first time and have vivid memories of the pop art collection and also the large Richard Wilson painting of the Falls of Niagara."
He said it was an honour to have his drawings and sketchbooks on show there.
