Phosphor Art 
Phosphor has recently taken on a wonderful new artist. Florencia Rigiroli (also known as Un floripondio) is an Argentinian illustrator and art director, who likes to create colourful illustrations focused on nature, botanicals and the female figure.
Bill is the recipient of multiple awards including the prestigious 'Key Art' award for his illustration for Batman, and has painted primary poster images for a variety of film genres from Sci-Fi classics like Mad Max to comedies such as Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life and Brazil.
Phosphor's Trina and Christine had a wonderful time at the London Book Fair recently, showing off art by some of their talented illustrators who create artwork for children's books. They created a book featuring a quiz about their illustrators, including Christopher Nielsen (whose art can be seen on the cover) Beatrice Simpkiss, Iris de Luz, Jonathan Leach, Luella Wright and Lee Ford.
Most of these artists are open to commissions at the moment, so get in contact with Trina at Phosphor if you'd like to chat or see some more picture book artwork.
Phosphor's Jonathan Leach has been working on some exciting new pieces to expand his portfolio - enjoy this playful image as a sneak peek!
Phosphor are thrilled to introduce their new signing, Studio Blanka, a design studio based in Brazil under the art direction of Diogo Hornburg.
Diogo says :
"We are mutants and constantly innovating.
What if we were asked where we want to be in ten years from now? Perhaps, immersed in space, or making publicity material for the first flying car, maybe creating a papercraft time machine, or celebrating the delivery of a new project with the team. The only certainty we have is that we will be finding the most incredible and exclusive ways to convey the essence of each new challenge."

The Phosphor team is very excited to be able to show off Dave Hopkins' artwork on the new cover for Jessie Burton's sequel to The Miniaturist called The House of Fortune. Dave illustrated the figures in his unique line style, the same technique used on the original Miniaturist cover over 10 years ago. Katie Tooke was the book designer.
The House of Fortune by Jessie Burton will be out in July and published by Picador.
Take a peek at more of Dave Hopkins' work on the Phosphor website.
Phosphor's Mikko Umi was happy to say goodbye to 2021, another year of uncertainty for all of us. He is welcoming 2022 and looking forward to going out on his boat and painting off the coast of Dunkirk in northern France, so he made this artwork to celebrate the New Year.
Mikko started out as a graffiti artist, and while he can still be found working on murals, much of his work is now done on a screen, as he specialises in colourful vector graphics.
Find more of Mikko's work in his portfolio and contact Trina at Phosphor if you'd like to work with him.
