This month we are proud to announce the signing of not one, but two fabulous Italian artists! With varied portfolios and many years of experience between them, we believe Lorenzo Sabbatini and Giovanni Abeille have what it takes to continue their success. Giovanni has produced some wonderful children's illustrations for picture books and also a simpler, graphic approach for the educational market. Lorenzo is no stranger to the children's books either, with many styles under his belt - a truly versatile artist who is well versed in both traditional and digital media.
Both artists are now represented by The Organisation

Adam Larkum decorates these biscuit boxes with some expressive Scottish characters.
This commission came from Ziggurat Brands for their client Island Bakery. Adam worked with the agency to update the packaging for the range of biscuits from the 'bakers of deliciously indulgent organic biscuits on the Hebridean Isle of Mull, Scotland'. Adam says "They have been a fantastic client and have to date sent me over 40 packets of their biscuits to help me get into the brand. At the moment I am animating little sequences for their new website and having a ball working on it. This has been one of my favourite commissions so far."

Michael Tonn works on a T-Shirt design for Muddy Waters Cafe.
The commission was to celebrate their twentieth year of 'serving great coffee, tea and music.' Michael's illustration evokes a mellow environment, he says "I connected with the whimsical and naturalistic feel of the place and based my illustration on those themes."

Master of detail Mike Hall completes ten architectural drawings for Make Architects.
This set of drawings represent some of the company's recent completed projects, and have been used in their latest annual; a 10th Anniversary edition. Mike says "Each drawing was based on photographs and drawn using fineline pen on Bristol Board. The list of ten buildings to be drawn was decided by the annual's design team. The drawings were included as detachable postcards at the rear of the book."

Artist Partners are proud to announce a big welcome to a major new talent: the Illustrator and writer, Charlie Sutcliffe ! This wonderfully talented artist has joined Artist Partners and we are delighted to represent and showcase his talent.
Charlie’s first picture book “Zubert” has been written and illustrated by Charlie himself, and this classic children’s book was published by Tate Books- which is marvellous news!
Having presented Charlie’s work at Bologna to various publishers, they were very excited by his unique talents, and hopeful in finding suitable new projects for Charlie to work on in the future.
No end to his talents, Charlie himself has written some brilliant imaginative texts which AP are now looking to home with suitable publishers.
