Satoshi Kambayashi for PLC Magazine

Phosphor's Satoshi Kambayashi is back in his regular slot, illustrating for PLC Magazine. This time the brief was to create something colourful for a piece about the impact of challenging market conditions on mergers and acquisitions activity.

Satoshi brought his unique line and watercolour style to the UK many years ago, and since then he has developed a digital style with a similar effect, plus a more graphic flat colour version, seen in play here. The underlying theme is always Satoshi's great ability to solve a creative problem by providing brilliant quirky solutions with a sense of humour, which is why so many magazines rely on him to interpret and conceptualise their ideas.

Find more of Satoshi's work in his portfolio, or contact Trina at Phosphor to commission Satoshi to bring some humour to your next project.

Iris de Luz for MIZZOU Magazine

Phosphor's Iris de Luz was approached by MIZZOU Magazine, the alumni magazine of the University of Missouri, to illustrate their Spring 2024 cover.

The brief was right up Iris' street: a 'playful and surreal park fantasy world' featuring bright colours, flowers, rolling hills, trees, lots of pattern and the famous St. Louis arch.

Iris' illustration will entice MIZZOU subscribers to read the cover story which features a group of four University of Missouri alumni who are leaders of various parks and greenspace organisations in the city of St. Louis.

Many different photographic elements and some 3D vector shapes make up each piece of Iris' dazzling artwork, including this cover. She spends hours looking at photographs to find the right textures for the job at hand, and says, "I think of them as if they were part of a digital ecosystem where each element, when joined with others, builds a new character".

Take a peek at Iris' portfolio to find more of her digital collages and contact Trina at Phosphor to commission Iris for your next project.
