Miranda created this super fun search and find illustration for The Observer’s Easter ‘Observer’s Needed’ post. Some of the things to spot include: an Easter bonnet, a toadstool, a bumble bee, and a fried egg!
Miranda said "The brief was to create a moment for everyone, young and old, to press pause and enjoy getting lost in the details. I had so much fun making this one, building a busy scene and hiding the ten elements within it."
Kate has beautifully illustrated a wonderful series of Little Puffin Clothbound Classics. They are pocket sized and adorned with gold foil-stamped designs, making them the perfect collectible items for a young person’s own little library.
A stunning cover for ’The Jewel Keepers’ by Sara Sheridan, illustrated by Lucy Rose for Hodder & Stoughton.
Laurindo was commissioned by BBC Wildlife Magazine for an article about the necrobiome - the vast community of insects, microbes and scavengers that transforms death into new life. Rather than approaching the subject in a literal way, Laurindo wanted to create an image that felt poetic and slightly unsettling: a suspended moment where decay, beauty and renewal coexist.
Darling Clementine worked on a range of special promo packs for Quaker Oats, helping to fuel Team GB for this year’s Winter Olympics!
There were a multitude of different pack fronts, showcasing the different sports competing at the games. The packs were part of a promotional give away with the chance to win prizes including tickets to see the athletes in action in Milano Cortina!
James Weston Lewis produced 5 different and dynamic covers for the Radio Times Winter Olympics Guides. We love seeing how James brought these daring and fast paced sports to life through his illustration style. He perfectly captured the beautiful scenery, the athletes and the essence of each sport in the 5 individual covers.
In this commission for The New Statesman book review, Laurindo illustrated a long literary essay revisiting D.H. Lawrence’s Why the Novel Matters and asking what the novel means now.
'Rather than a portrait, I wanted to translate Lawrence’s idea of “tremulations on the ether” into an image: a mind as a resonant field, where layers of thought overlap, vibrate, and reshape each other. A landscape becomes consciousness; echoes stack into forms; books disappear, return, and shift meaning with time—alive, unstable, endlessly re-read.'

Kate Forrester produced a delightful set of fairytale illustrations with a difference, in this collaboration with BBH for Experian’s latest ad campaign. Read on below to hear Kate’s thoughts on the project and see more examples of her roughs, final artwork and the different platforms the ads have been used across.
I was delighted to be commissioned by advertising agency BBH to illustrate their new campaign for Experian, empowering customers to take control of their financial futures with their inspiring new brand platform. The concept of the campaign uses classic nursery rhymes and fairy tales to encourage you to; ‘Better Your Story’ and improve your credit score. My job was to come up with a series of traditional, illustrated book covers – but with a twist!
The billboards went up all across London this week and have got lots of attention so far with their overall message of positivity and hope – just what we need in gloomy January!
Published by Batsford Books, and beautifully illustrated throughout with Lino cuts by Debbie Powell.
