DOTTY SUTTON RETURNS WITH THE NOTWITCHES: PRISON BREAK!

Dotty Sutton conjures up a riot of mischief in The Notwitches: Prison Break, the uproarious second instalment of Gary Panton’s middle-grade series from Chicken House Books.

Melanda Notwitch is back and this time she’s setting out to break herself in to prison in order to break her parents out. Dotty’s whimsical black-and-white artwork captures every absurd moment beautifully - from goblin roommates who hate mornings to nearly-talking cats. The result? A gloriously absurd romp bursting with heart, humour, and visual mischief.

“Gary has done it again. A new cast of fabulously silly characters. I had just as much fun as book 1 bringing these hilarious villains to life… I can't wait for kids to meet the Governess and have a good giggle!” — Dotty Sutton.

From the wonderful cover to the final vignette, The Notwitches: Prison Break is brought joyfully to life by Dotty's fun-filled imagery.

Angelo Rinaldi

Its been sometime since we were asked to produce some packaging illustrations - but we had the ideal commission for our artist  Angelo Rinaldi - based on a children’s book that  he had produced many years ago, a hyper realistic painted picture book entitled : Cow -

Our client  is  a dairy farmer living  in Tasmania who produces milk at his  own creamery the company is called “ Shakespeare Hills”  and the client  was inspired by what he had seen as  the children book cover for a label design.

Angelo’s wonderfully  realistic style was perfect in order  to produce a design that would work across  all of his products.

For more of Angelo’s fabulous paintings go to the website. Angelo Rinaldi | Illustrator | Artist Partners

The client is delighted with the finished product. We are too!

Lee Ford for Grace Comms

Phosphor's Lee Ford recently completed a job for Grace Comms, an award-winning healthcare brand communication agency. Lee illustrated a scene featuring a doctor trying to decide which path to go on, symbolising how doctors must choose which treatment to give a patient. The artwork was used at a conference, online and on flyers.

Lee’s unique approach to graphic image making has a strong connection to traditional print based methods and has evolved through many years of experimentation. These traditionally printed elements are combined with digital and analogue graphic processes that include found ephemera, drawing and photography all described using a playful, visceral visual language that explores both concept and aesthetic in equal measure.

Lee describes his passion for graphic processes and obsession with surface texture as "playful, expressive and emotive". This approach has gained Lee commissions for print and web clients both nationally and internationally;  as well as exhibitions in London, New York, Stockholm and Singapore and images published by AVA publishing, Bloomsbury, Laurence King, and Gestalten.
