Animation and TV projects for the Organisation

We have been lucky enough to work on some strictly hush hush projects - contracts forbid me to say more! It's an exciting development for a number of our new and established illustrators working in the children's book area.

Ben Mounsey and Dave Bain have worked on a series of artworks for a top secret animated TV program airing in the UK next spring

Alison Jay has been involved in production of work for a well known film studio which if approved will form the basis of an animated feature film

Gail Armstrong creates a beautiful set of Stamps

Gail Armstrong (from illustration Ltd) has created an incredible set of stamps on Henry VIII for Guernsey Post to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the coronation of the legendary king. Gail has used a colour palette that is heavily influenced by the paintings and textiles of the era. "All of the patterned and textured papers I used for these pieces, I created digitally" explained Gail "rather than being compromised by what was available."
