Starling, a UK charity that hosts creative projects exploring positive identity and creative expression with neurodivergent young people, have commissioned Aurelia Lange to animate a series of informative podcast clips. They explore the needs of neurodivergent people in public spaces, with Aurelia’s painterly style used perfectly to create warm and digestible snippets.
Explaining a bit more about the project, Aurelia said: "The brief stated that the visual style should be uncomplicated (i.e. not too many things going on at once) and for the animations to be as 'smooth' as possible as this can be helpful for neurodivergent people with visual processing challenges.”
Amy Grimes has illuminated the The Galápagos Islands of past and present with a beautiful new children's book for What on Earth books.
In Galápagos Islands: The World’s Living Laboratory, the scenes teem with life, utilising a rich palette and painterly feel to help make the topics understandable and exciting. Amy said:
“I found it super interesting learning how the different islands had such a big impact on the features of each animal, such as the shape and colour of the tortoises shells. Also that there is a type of finch that drinks blood, Vampire Finches!”
Commissioned by Stranger and Stranger, Lucy Rose has illustrated a limited-edition canister for Don Papa Rum of Sugarlandia, the jungle that the brand world exists in.
