These are not the latest suggestions to coax visitors to the Island, they are, in fact, vividly re-imagined ‘posters’ from a local artist.
Russell Layton is known for his colourful, graphic landscapes and scenes of the Island, but the 44-year-old has now launched a new exhibition showing a series of pictures of fantasy Island pursuits.
In bold colours, crisp lines and a few sharp phrases he offers playful scenes of Jersey in different illustrative styles.
And if ever parishioners need to stage a revolt in Trinity Mr Layton may have just the symbol – a single clenched fist, above which the phrase ‘Front de libération de la Trinity’ is printed and below the slogan ‘Power to the parish’.
The exhibition, called ‘Fantasy Island: Promoting an Imaginary Jersey’ is at the Jersey Arts Centre until 28 November.
The posters also show ‘Rue 66’, a play on the famous American road of nearly the same name, the ‘Penguins of Plémont’ and a campaign to reintroduce wolves to St Catherine’s woods.
Mr Layton, who works for law firm Carey Olsen as a corporate professional support lawyer, has previously held solo exhibitions in both Guernsey and Jersey and his work is also held in private collections around the world.
Describing his latest show, which he said had kindly been sponsored by Carey Olsen, the artist added: ‘I suppose it’s a series of prints which are based on various types of poster art from different eras.
They re-imagine fictitious aspects of the Island.
‘For example, there’s La Hougue Bie Ski Resort, which was based on a poster of Mont Blanc I did for some friends.
‘Having done that I wanted to create more of a link with Jersey and thought the incongruous use of La Hougue Bie was amusing.’
‘I hope what comes through is my love of Jersey,’ Mr Layton added.
