The Artworks are delighted to welcome new artist Billy Clark! Billy graduated from Norwich University College of the Arts in 2010 with a 1st in Graphic Design and Illustration, and he has established a truly unique and original illustrative style. We are all very excited to see what he does next…
Debbie Powell was asked to illustrate a fab range of packaging for Tesco’s stock pots – these should keep you nice and warm on the inside on a snow day!
Kate Forrester was asked to illustrate the much anticipated cover for the Radio Times Christmas special. Kate was chuffed to be asked and created this absolutely beautiful image in two colour ways, both equally as gorgeous. The radio times described Kate’s illustrations as “nostalgic and beautiful”
Working with Wunderman in Germany for Lufthansa, several of our artists have contributed to an amazing mural exhibited in Berlin. Chris Ede, Ben Tallon and Miss Led along with others illustrated the "Zukunft-Berlin-campaign", "Sieh doch, was Du willst". Each piece from the individual artist has been combined to create a massive mural in a giant public space in Berlin.
This fine drawing created by Hannah Megee is for Lux Harmonium's recent 7" single. The Bones You Break / Camel Bones came out a couple of weeks ago on the Static Caravan label. Hannah says " I decided to use the image of the donkey for two reasons; firstly, it was play on words as both songs have the word 'bones' in the title, so a little reference to the saying 'the straw that broke the donkey's back'. The second reason is that Luke Jones, the talent behind Lux Harmonium, often reminds me of a sad donkey." The image was produced in pencil and then lightly coloured in Photoshop.
Alongside Ziggurat Brands, Barry Patterson has worked on the rebranding of the New Covent Garden Soups range. Barry's style works perfectly with these all natural soups, his rich illustrations relishing the ingredients. Anna Rudenko from Popsop, the online brand magazine says "The new vivid and colorful design also provides the clearest range segmentation, making it easier for consumers to differentiate the products in five segments of the brand’s portfolio". Super job.
Multi talented artist, Fred van Deelen, has recently done some lovely black line work for the labels and packaging for Marks & Spencer's Speyside single malt whisky. His traditional approach to the drawings work perfectly and really shows off his strong draftsmanship. Out now in the shops so go and grab yourself a very stylish tipple!
The latest very exciting new addition to The Artworks group of artists is Adam Hancher. Adam has worked as an illustrator since graduating in 2010, already attracting a great deal of attention with his beautiful colours and screen printed style. He has designed this year’s gorgeous Christmas card for The Artworks. Watch this space for more exciting work from Adam…
Matthew Cook was delighted to have been asked recently to spend a week at Mother advertising agency, capturing day to day life there through his illustrations. Mark Waites, Creative Partner at Mother said: “We wanted to invite Matthew in to draw what he saw at the Mother offices, not only because he’s an amazing draughtsman with a beautiful and unique style, but because he’s witnessed the extremity of battle. After his work in Afghanistan we thought it would be interesting for him to turn his gaze on the on the inconsequential that happens at Mother.” https://above-the-lines.tumblr.com/
