Bill Sanderson for Old Glasgow Whisky
Phosphor's Bill Sanderson recently worked on a label for Old Glasgow whisky, a brand which celebrates the history and heritage of distilling in and around Glasgow.
The label, created by Bill in his signature scratchboard style, re-interprets the Glasgow Coat of Arms. The original coat of arms features a fish, a tree, a bell and a bird - all symbols related to legends about Saint Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow. Bill's artwork features these same symbols, along with some iconic Glasgow architecture. Barley (to represent whisky) and thistles (to represent Scotland) have been added around the slogan 'Let Glasgow Flourish'.
Bill Sanderson works almost exclusively with scratchboard, with which he produces both black and white and full colour artwork. He has done drawings for many newspapers, journals, book publishers, designers and advertising agencies, including Royal Mail, Puffin. and Radio Times.

Phosphor wish you a 5-star Christmas and an illustrious new year!
Phosphor's Christmas card this year was illustrated by Joan Tarragó, whose work embraces illustration, graphic design and urban art.

Phosphor wish you a 5-star Christmas and an illustrious 2025!

Sipsmith Ads by Pastiche
Phosphor's Jon Rogers has been working with Sipsmith on their new advertising campaign, under the Pastiche moniker.
The illustrations were for ads (to be used in print, point of sale and online) to launch Sipsmith's Origin 1639 Gin, a limited edition gin that redefines the origins of this quintessentially English spirit. The gin is rooted in a recipe from 1639, which proves that gin originated in England, not Holland as widely believed.
Sipsmith's team were looking for a piece painted in the style of an Old Master with period references, such as the clothing and the way the scene is presented, but with modern touches like the watch, earpods and mobile phone. Jon is a master of his craft and pulled off the brief exceptionally.
Even with multiple personalities, Phosphor's Pastiche artist was finding it hard to keep up with demand, so they now have a whole team of talented Pastiche illustrators taking commissions for your every need.
Each is a specialist in their own field but they also work well as a team on joint projects.So, you want Rembrandt’s ‘Christ on the Sea of Galilee’… By Thursday… Instead of Christ you want Meerkats… Mmm… Tricky one… What time on Thursday?
