Angelo Rinaldi

Angelo Rinaldi (Artist Partners Ltd, Design Projects, illustrator)

Its been sometime since we were asked to produce some packaging illustrations - but we had the ideal commission for our artist  Angelo Rinaldi - based on a children’s book that  he had produced many years ago, a hyper realistic painted picture book entitled : Cow -

Angelo Rinaldi (Artist Partners Ltd, Design Projects, illustrator)

Our client  is  a dairy farmer living  in Tasmania who produces milk at his  own creamery the company is called “ Shakespeare Hills”  and the client  was inspired by what he had seen as  the children book cover for a label design.

Angelo’s wonderfully  realistic style was perfect in order  to produce a design that would work across  all of his products.

The client is delighted with the finished product. We are too!

The Kidnapping – TIME Magazine – Simon Prades (Debut Art, Editorial Commissions, illustrator)

 

Simon Prades was commissioned to create the cover illustration for the 21st July issue of TIME magazine

Simon Prades was commissioned to create the cover illustration for the 21st July issue of TIME magazine. The cover feature is about the fate of kidnapped Ukrainian children and how that has been pushed to the edges of the peace process, intensifying fears across the country that they may never come home. The longer they remain in Russia, the more difficult it will be to return and reintegrate them, as the effect of Russian propaganda and indoctrination takes hold over time.

Designed as part of the 'Gift Lab' series, this engaging 24‑page activity kit immerses young audiences in Monet’s world. It features a 150-piece jigsaw puzzle of his Giverny garden, a fact‑filled fold‑out timeline tracing his life and personal dramas, twenty‑four creative art activities (from origami water lilies to a Monet-themed mystery), and even an iron‑on patch  - all richly illustrated by Iratxe.

Opening the box reveals not only a puzzle where you can spot Monet’s studio boat, wife Camille, and characters from his famous paintings, but also invites users to experiment with his artistic techniques via fun hands-on prompts. Iratxe’s illustrations transform educational content into a playful, tactile journey that both celebrates Monet’s legacy and encourages budding artists to explore creativity in a memorable, interactive format.
