Artist Partners have sadly been informed about the recent passing of legendary artist, Michael Leonard. Michael was one of the original artists represented by Artist Partners , back in the early days of the agency.
Leonard's influential work, in and outside of the commercial world both in publishing and editorial and in fine art galleries , was undeniably incredible and wonderfully stylish. In honor, we will be respectfully sharing some of his brilliant pieces over time.
Here are just a few of his more recognizable works.Artist Partners | A Brief History 1951 – 2000
However, you can find a great amount of Michael's work on the Michael Leonard website (www.michaelleonardartist.com). From paintings to photography, exploring his expansive portfolio is a true joy.

Lucy Davey has illustrated 3 walking guide covers for the islands of Scotland for Pocket Mountains written by Peter Edwards. Taking inspiration from the landscapes of Brian Cook, she said, ‘I've worked with Robbie Porteous from Pocket Mountains on a few projects now. The Uist cover is my favourite - I always enjoy depicting water in my illustrations and I particularly like the colour combinations in this one.’

Katie Ponder has illustrated the fourth book in Dorling Kindersley's Mythology series, with the latest instalment focusing on Goddesses and Heroines from myths around the world.
Inspired by Folkart, embroidery and quilting, Katie used photoshop to create all the illustrations, moving elements round like a paper theatre set until something aesthetically ‘clicked’.
Charlie Sutcliffe is without doubt a brilliant artist, and always creating the most amazingly original and imaginative characters.
His work is such a great fit for children books, for painting of murals inside and out , and merchandise - there are no bounds actually.
Charlie lives in Valencia and there always seems to be a wonderful light and vibrancy about his artwork.
Here is such an example entitled: “Anchors Away” and pretty much a perfect image for this time of year.
