Nick Chaffe – STATE Insurance

New Zealand based STATE Insurance recently undertook a national study and found that the same accidents tend to happen on the same day; which led to their campaign The Mistake Report, featuring a range of witty icons created by Nick Chaffe in his graphic style for use in print, TV and social media.

House of Illustration/Quentin Blake Centre

Bad news for the House of Illustration that its to close but good news that its to resurface as the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration in a major £8m refurbishment project to become the world’s largest public arts space dedicated to illustration.

The renamed Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration will be a new cultural landmark for the UK, redeveloping New River Head in Islington, London into what will also be a permanent home for the archive of the organisation’s founder, Sir Quentin Blake, with selections from his archive of more than 40,000 works on permanent display.

Congratulations Greg McIndoe on being longlisted in the World Illustration Awards and featuring on the Creative Boom Podcast!

What a week it’s been for Startworks artist Greg McIndoe (AKA Headless Greg)! Greg was invited to chat on the latest Creative Boom Podcast , where he discusses starting his own business,  social media, and the importance of recognising and reconciling struggle. It’s a really candid and thoughtful interview and definitely something we would recommend listening to whether you’re a recent graduate or established in your creative career.

On top of that, Greg has been long-listed in the World Illustration Awards in the new talent section of the alternative publishing category for his book he worked on his final year of university, Wilson Strange; a fantastic exploration of mental health through the eyes of the titular character.

With all this happening, we can’t wait to see where Greg will go next and how his talent will continue to flourish and be recognised. Congratulations Greg!
