Sophie Parsons was thrilled to illustrate US Glamour Magazine's Group Chat series.
Working in her colourful and contemporary style, Sophie created a collection of stills and animated GIFs to bring the features to life; exploring the etiquette, unspoken rules and shifting power dynamics of the group chats that shape our modern friendships.
Sophie's character-focused illustrations tap into the human experience beautifully. Her images are always full of narrative, and she is able to elevate the relationship between word and image with her considered use of line, colour and scene building.

Tomislav Tomic's atmospheric illustrated map of the Isle of Sidhe features in Riftborne, the debut romantasy from Bree Grenwich and Parker Lennox, published by Penguin - and already an instant Sunday Times bestseller.
The map gives readers a fully realised view of Fia Riftborne's rebellion-scarred world before they've reached chapter one, its intricate detail is perfectly matched to the story's tone. It's the kind of artwork that doesn't just decorate a book, it deepens it, pulling you in from the very first page.
Map illustration is one of Tomislav Tomic’s real strengths: a rare ability to combine narrative richness with striking design, turning a navigational aid into a piece of storytelling in its own right. It's a skill he has brought to projects across fantasy and adventure fiction for many publishers, and Riftborne is a compelling new addition to that body of work.

Curated by Diane and Jean-Jacques Launier for CapAtlantique La Baule-Guérande Agglo, the show takes visitors on a journey through the central themes of John Howe’s lifetime body of work: ancient legends, mythical landscapes and fantastic worlds. At the Porte Saint-Michel, the experience takes on a different dimension after dark, when the medieval façade is transformed by a monumental projection, light and imagery conjuring a dreamlike, mythological universe from the stonework itself.
For decades John Howe has been one of the foremost names in fantasy illustration, known above all as a conceptual designer on the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit film trilogies. Fantastic Voyages is a rare opportunity to experience the full breadth of that extraordinary career in one place.
