Lee Ford for Grace Comms

Lee Ford for Grace Comms (illustrator, Phosphor Art)

 

Phosphor's Lee Ford recently completed a job for Grace Comms, an award-winning healthcare brand communication agency. Lee illustrated a scene featuring a doctor trying to decide which path to go on, symbolising how doctors must choose which treatment to give a patient. The artwork was used at a conference, online and on flyers.

Lee’s unique approach to graphic image making has a strong connection to traditional print based methods and has evolved through many years of experimentation. These traditionally printed elements are combined with digital and analogue graphic processes that include found ephemera, drawing and photography all described using a playful, visceral visual language that explores both concept and aesthetic in equal measure.

Lee describes his passion for graphic processes and obsession with surface texture as "playful, expressive and emotive". This approach has gained Lee commissions for print and web clients both nationally and internationally;  as well as exhibitions in London, New York, Stockholm and Singapore and images published by AVA publishing, Bloomsbury, Laurence King, and Gestalten.

Bob Wilson’s Ozzy Cartoon

Bob Wilson’s Ozzy Cartoon (editorial, illustrator, Phosphor Art)

Phosphor's Bob Wilson recently created this cartoon tribute to Ozzy Osbourne for a magazine.

Bob Wilson started out as an award-winning Art Director and later became a full-time cartoonist. His signature style of charcoal pencils and watercolour washes is immediately identifiable and his wicked sense of humour always shines through in the characters and the scenes that he creates.

He has worked as a cartoonist for many magazines, most notably for Punch and the Oldie. His work has featured in major advertising campaigns over the years including clients such as Heineken, IBM, ICI, Sony, British Airways, American Airlines, Coca Cola, Barclays, VW, Ford, Cadburys, EMI, PG Tips and Kodak to name but a few.

Satoshi Kambayashi for Boat International US

Satoshi Kambayashi for Boat International US (illustrator, Phosphor Art)

Phosphor's Satoshi Kambayashi is excited to be working with Boat International US on a new monthly column. In the first illustration, Satoshi was asked to illustrate a crowd of common holidaymakers causing a stir next to the concerned captain of a superyacht called King Benji.

 

Satoshi brought his unique line and watercolour style to the UK many years ago, and since then he has developed a digital style with a similar effect, plus a more graphic flat colour version. The underlying theme is always his great ability to solve a creative problem by providing brilliant quirky solutions with a sense of humour, which is why so many magazines rely on him to interpret and conceptualise their ideas.

Boat International Say Goodbye to Eddie Jordan (illustrator, Phosphor Art)

Phosphor's Dave Hopkins brought Eddie Jordan's Lippy from the Liffey column in Boat International to life with his signature pen and ink style for 12 years. When Eddie Jordan passed away this spring, Boat International got in touch with Phosphor for one last illustration.

Bill Sanderson for Old Glasgow Whisky

Bill Sanderson for Old Glasgow Whisky (illustrator, Phosphor Art)

 

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'.
