Artist spotlight – Priya Mistry
Graphics-based illustrator Priya Mistry creates bright playful characters and animations for print publications, smart phones and TV. She draws inspiration from coffee shops, children’s story books, vintage art and animals – the furrier the better.
Artist Spotlight – Joel Millerchip
Joel Millerchip is an illustrator that translates briefs into visual stories of curly-haired characters, fantastic beasts, and distorted scenes. He draws influence from talking to real people, his own warped memories, and mythology. Joel is also a founding member of illustrators collective Brothers Of The Stripe.
Artist Spotlight: Joshua Billingham
Bio
Birmingham illustrator, Joshua Billingham creates twisted characters that pay homage to the New York subway art of the early 80s.
He intensifies his creations by layering unusual combinations of textures and drawing influence from the cartoons of his childhood .
Josh, aka Gent 48, also likes to people-watch. He often makes caricatures of the folk he meets on his travels. After all, real life can be pretty warped too.
Artist Spotlight: Guy McKinley
Bio
Since 2003 Guy Mckinley has been consistently producing character heavy, offbeat, colourful illustrations. A Japanese influence is clearly visible in a lot of his work and so pattern, colour and detailing run strongly throughout. McKinley’s work is infused with his love of old comic and storybook art from his youth.
