Lisa was commissioned to create an illustration for the cover of a Guardian Lifestyle section.
The cover feature explored the idea of skincare product overload and the pressure around excessive beauty routines. Lisa decided to use her own face for the concept, though in the end the focus was mainly on her eyes, combined with a fake CG “goo” effect to push the visuals into something really exaggerated and surreal. It was a fun challenge for Lisa tackling the cover while also acting as the model — always nice to experiment and have fun with a cover!

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.

Phosphor's Alexander Jackson has had an unusual series of jobs lately, illustrating custom clapperboards for various TV productions. The latest, for an upcoming Channel 4 series called Number 10, which will star Jenna Coleman and Rafe Spall.
Alexander said: "The design features that iconic Downing Street brickwork and the famous black door" and that he "had to make sure it felt authentic for a show that takes you right into the heart of British politics".
Previously Alexander has worked on illustrated clapperboards for productions including Channel 5' Murder Before Evensong, and the BBC's Sister Boniface Mysteries and Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators, which have featured in the mainstream press.
Originally trained in fine art and traditional painting techniques, Alexander Jackson went on to study Illustration at Edinburgh College of Art, where he developed a more graphical style. Influenced by pop-culture, film, music, animation and a very broad range of visual art, his work often deals with responding to mainstream media, while at the same time showing a keen interest in character.
