Pastiche artist Max Schindlerwas commissioned to produce a number of illustrations which were briefed and based on the various legal scenarios depicted in law magazine "Legal Business".
He was asked to create some images which were lively and interesting and created in style to designers and artists of the bygone past, including Saul Bass.
Max is a very accomplished artist in his own right but finds he can turn a hand to most image styles when asked and is therefore a very reliable and talented pastiche artist on the books of Artist Partners.

Chris Ede works on a mammoth packaging commission for the Lynx/Axe brand.
Art directed by Utd Studio, Chris has designed nine packaging illustrations for these box sets which are hitting the shelves for Christmas. Chris has created masculine, urban and attractive artworks and says "The brief was to capture the essence of each deodorant brand logo name in the form of an illustration within a dynamic triangular framework."
Steve Gilligan of Utd Studio says of Chris's part in the project:-
"Upon finding Chris Ede within the www.illustrationweb.com site we were immediately struck by the depth and intricate layering of his artwork. A three way paid creative pitch ensued with Chris bringing a level of story telling that captured the essence of the fragrance and hit the brief bang on. Selecting Chris as the winner was simple!
Chris quickly got up to speed and worked tirelessly both with the commissioning agency and the ultimate end client to work through a series of 9 illustrations Chris began with mood boards and rough sketches that provided the heart of his vision. Then following feedback he worked through the range with creativity, craft and professionalism. Even towards the end when a couple were tough to crack, Chris continued to work with the same level of enthusiasm as he began the project.
The final result was a creative yet cohesive range of gift packs that each had their own unique visual story and a very happy client."

Time to grab the new signing bugle and give it a mighty proud blow, we’re delighted to announce that Tom Haugomat has signed with Handsome Frank.
Tom is a born and bred Parisian who resides in his home city. Having studied at the world famous Gobelins school of visual communication he initially embarked on a successful career in animated films but latterly his love for illustration developed.
Now an established illustrator, Tom’s striking signature style draws upon a strong sense for composition and an acute awareness of the power of negative space. Working with a stripped back colour palette he creates wonderfully atmospheric imagery, often brooding with tension or sprinkled with magic as the brief desires.
We’re delighted to have him on board and can’t wait to get working with him. You can his full profile here.
