Sarah Tanat-Jones – The Observer

Sarah Tanat-Jones illustrated the cover and inside feature for The New Review, Poems for Mother’s Day for The Observer.

From Homer to Sylvia Plath, poets have been moved by parenthood and in this feature Poet laureate Simon Armitage introduces a selection of beautiful poems chosen especially to celebrate the special day.

Creating contemporary and timeless illustrations to accompany the selection, Sarah’s images are striking in their simplicity, showcasing her expressive line work and fluid forms, brought to life with a fresh colour palette, perfectly capturing the spirit of the poems whilst adding her own distinctive voice.

Laurindo Feliciano for BBC Wildlife

Laurindo was commissioned by BBC Wildlife Magazine for an article about the necrobiome - the vast community of insects, microbes and scavengers that transforms death into new life. Rather than approaching the subject in a literal way, Laurindo wanted to create an image that felt poetic and slightly unsettling: a suspended moment where decay, beauty and renewal coexist.

Sam Chivers – Nautilus Magazine

Illustrating a fictional report from the future, tracing the dramatic journey of science from its turbulent present to a promising new era of innovation.

The concept behind the image was to depict a graveyard of scientific apparatus, from which vibrant, abstract shapes emerge, symbolizing the rebirth and evolution of scientific exploration unbounded by traditional funding structures/dogmatic cultures.

Nautilus is an award-winning, high-brow American science magazine that blends in-depth scientific reporting with storytelling, philosophy, culture, and art. Founded in 2013, its mission is to connect scientific topics to everyday life, exploring one specific monthly theme (e.g., time, consciousness, uncertainty) through comprehensive, long-form essays, interviews, and vivid illustrations.
