Phosphor Classics: Bill Garland

Phosphor Classics: Bill Garland (illustrator, Phosphor Art)
Phosphor have been creating stunning imagery for advertising, publishing and the media since 1979, and as well as representing fresh talent, they also still work with some 'Old Masters', who have been with them since the 70s! One such artist is Bill Garland, who has created the main images on countless projects for every major Hollywood studio and television network.

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.

Here are a couple of pieces of Bill's work - one from back in the day and a more recent image of Kacey Musgrave. Take a peek at his portfolio for more.

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.

Introducing Studio Blanka (illustrator, Phosphor Art)

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."

Happy New Year from Mikko Umi and Phosphor

Happy New Year from Mikko Umi and Phosphor (illustrator, Phosphor Art)

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.
