Phosphor's Jhon Boy recently won first prize at the Versiona Thyssen XIII, an open international competition for young creators. Artists are encouraged to make their own version of one of the paintings of the collection in the Thyssen Museum. Jhon Boy's piece recreated Charles Willson Peale's portrait of The Stewart Children in his signature style.
The 13th edition of #VersionaThyssen featured Alexey Kondakov, SakoAsko and Chamosan as guest artists and jury members. The awards ceremony was held in the museum's garden in June and featured a performance by Dani.
The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum is an art museum in Madrid, Spain. It is known as part of the "Golden Triangle of Art", which also includes the Prado and the Reina Sofía national galleries. Find out more about the competition and enter next time here.

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."
