Matilda Harrison: To Bee or Not to Bee

We’re always interested in seeing our illustrators personal work, so we were delighted when Matilda Harrison sent us this. She has always loved to experiment with visual quotes and this is a recent interpretation of one by the Bard himself. Matilda's style of painting is influenced by naïve and folk art but filtered through a sophisticated eye, each brush stroke is meticulously considered and her work always has a very strong narrative quality to it.

Chris Garbutt: JibJab Letter X – Extraordinary X by StoryBots

'Extraordinary X' is a kids music video that Chris Garbutt designed and art directed for JibJab's StoryBots ABC project.  Chris had to interpret the existing StoryBot characters and bring to life the letter 'X' in over twenty different ways for this one minute short. Here are some of our favourite key frames from the video. Chris Garbutt is represented by Arena
