Biscuits from the Isle of Mull

Adam Larkum decorates these biscuit boxes with some expressive Scottish characters.

This commission came from Ziggurat Brands for their client Island Bakery. Adam worked with the agency to update the packaging for the range of biscuits from the 'bakers of deliciously indulgent organic biscuits on the Hebridean Isle of Mull, Scotland'. Adam says "They have been a fantastic client and have to date sent me over 40 packets of their biscuits to help me get into the brand. At the moment I am animating little sequences for their new website and having a ball working on it. This has been one of my favourite commissions so far."

Muddy Waters

Michael Tonn works on a T-Shirt design for Muddy Waters Cafe.

The commission was to celebrate their twentieth year of 'serving great coffee, tea and music.' Michael's illustration evokes a mellow environment, he says "I connected with the whimsical and naturalistic feel of the place and based my illustration on those themes."

Make Architects

Master of detail Mike Hall completes ten architectural drawings for Make Architects.

This set of drawings represent some of the company's recent completed projects, and have been used in their latest annual; a 10th Anniversary edition. Mike says "Each drawing was based on photographs and drawn using fineline pen on Bristol Board. The list of ten buildings to be drawn was decided by the annual's design team. The drawings were included as detachable postcards at the rear of the book."

Jonny Duddle Illustrates New Harry Potter Editions

We're very pleased to announce that Jonny Duddle has been selected to illustrate the new children's editions of the Harry Potter series for Bloomsbury Children's Books. It's a brilliant opportunity for his amazing artwork to reach so many children as Harry Potter inspires a new generation of wizards and witches. Jonny worked on a sample artwork which was chosen from three artists by J.K. Rowling and here's the finished cover for the first in the series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

 Jonny has six more covers to illustrate in time for their publication in September 2014, he said: “I’m hugely excited to work my way through the wonderful books. I couldn’t have asked for more enjoyable subject matter. It’s exciting, daunting and I feel the weight of responsibility, I’m hoping that my illustrations faithfully reflect the characters and the world created by J.K. Rowling.”
