Seasons Greetings and a Happy New Year from all at Début Art
Whilst everyone is hoping for a Playstation 5 this Christmas, Walter Newton harks back to the glory days of 8bit goodness with this pixel-based Santa that wouldn’t be out of place on an 80’s Nintendo console.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful time during the festive season.

Yuko Kondo / Tiny Forest / Earthwatch
Yuko Kondo was commissioned to create the artwork for Earthwatch’s ‘Tiny Forest’ campaign. Tiny Forests are densely packed native forests that fit into the size of a tennis court. This means they bring all the benefits of a forest – climate cooling, lower flood risks, biodiversity, improved air quality and physical and mental wellbeing – right into the heart of our cities and urban spaces. Yuko created a design that packs the wildlife and plant life of the United Kingdom in to this space. The design was used both online and also as mural in urban areas around the UK.

Doug John Miller / Laurence King
Doug John Miller was commissioned by Laurence King to create the artwork for ‘The World of Sherlock Holmes’, a complex and storied jigsaw puzzle which captures the world of the famous detective.
The plan for the puzzle was authored by Nicholas Utechin, the official historian of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London. Following his brief, Doug created a bustling cityscape featuring Sherlock Holmes’ mysteries, locations, characters and clues.
Doug’s artwork displays his particular eye for architectural detail and talent for composing intricately detailed scenes which draw the viewer in with the multiple strands of stories being told.
