COSMIC KICKS AND ALIEN TRICKS FROM ALEKSEI

COSMIC KICKS AND ALIEN TRICKS FROM ALEKSEI (Arena Illustration, Children’s Books, illustrator)

 

Aleksei Bitskoff blasts onto bookshelves with an uproarious cover for The Galaxy World Cup, a galactic football adventure where underdogs meet aliens and chaos reigns.

Get your boots on and prepare for take-off! Alan Joyce’s The Galaxy World Cup lands courtesy of Chicken House Books with a brilliantly bonkers cover illustration by Aleksei Bitskoff that perfectly captures the madness, humour and interstellar action inside. When a rag-tag team of schoolboys get mistaken for Earth’s greatest players and zapped into the universe’s biggest tournament, Aleksei’s character-rich visuals bring every extraterrestrial oddball and unlikely goal scorer to life - on and off the pitch.

Known for his finely observed line work, imaginative worlds and instinctive sense of comedy, Aleksei’s cover doesn’t just sell the story - it sells the fun. From weird alien spectators to snap-shot moments that feel like they’ve been plucked straight from the game, his art effortlessly invites readers aged 7–11 (and anyone who knows the agony and ecstasy of a last-minute goal) to dive in.

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!

Pastiche For Greater Anglia (Advertising Campaigns, illustrator, Phosphor Art)

Phosphor's Pastiche has been working on an exciting project for Greater Anglia trains, creating a festive illustration for 96-sheet, 48-sheet and 6-sheet posters.

The posters, which feature Somerset House's ice rink, Greater Anglia's red hare mascot and the caption 'Explore London & plug into the festive feeling' will be on display around Greater Anglia and doing the rounds on social media to encourage travel into the capital this festive season.

Even with multiple personalities, Phosphor's Pastiche artist was finding it hard to keep up with demand, so they now have a whole team of talented Pastiche illustrators taking commissions for your every need. Each is a specialist in their own field but they also work well as a team on joint projects.

“I want a giant panda, called Vinnie… He’s riding a thoroughbred horse… In the style of George Stubbs… With background… Is Monday okay?” Sure!

“Any chance of a Leonardo by Tuesday?” – Just get in touch with Trina at Phosphor!
