Urban Garden Launch

Danny Allison (from Illustration ltd) is the hand behind the art on this front cover illustration for Urban Garden magazine’s launch issue in the US.

Explains Danny: “The Art Director gave me free reign on concept, colour and design. The design needed to get across that the US government has a hold over the corn industry and in turn is enslaving people.”

Mark Chambers makes his mark at London Zoo!

Bright Agency:

Our very own award-winning illustrator Mark Chambers has had the honour of having his work displayed permanently at London Zoo as of April this year. Selected from hundreds of illustrators across Britain to redesign the children’s section of the London attraction, he created a series called ‘Animal Adventure’, the focus of which is to immerse children in the sights, sounds and smells of the animal kingdom. Visitors will also be able to take a piece of Mark’s work home with them too as it will be featured on souvenir pens and pencils.

Mark is over the moon to have been included in the scheme and Phil Holmes, interpretation developer at the zoo said he was the very best illustrator they could find.

Lost Worlds by John Howe (Arena)

Just published by Kingfisher

'The World is a big place and the past is even bigger – it is full of worlds that have been lost'.

Atlantis, Troy, Shambhala and Avalon – worlds long abandoned, buried or forgotten in the mists of time are now unearthed in John Howe's new book Lost Worlds. The breathtaking illustrations capture each world's hidden depths and mysterious pasts, including The Garden of Eden, Uluru and The Faerie World. Written and illustrated by John, this was an exciting and challenging project and will no doubt lead to further works inspired by his love of history and research into both real and imagined worlds.

Lizzie Cullen at Zizzi Restaurants

Young talented illustrator Lizzie Cullen (represented by Phophor Art) has won several awards in her short career and certainly made a lasting mark. Currently her two latest designs can be seen gracing the walls of Zizzi restaurants in Marlow and Sevenoakes. She was spotted by the head of design for the chain, and commissioned to produce ideas and paintings for the two interior walls using the surrounding areas as inspiration. Marlow is painted predominantly in black and white and her "psycho-geographie" as she calls the work, echos the special feel that a a town like Marlow has, with the winding river Thames and suspension bridge playing a major part. Sevenoakes is much more colourful and reflects the bustle of that lively area, while retaining the country feel. Lizzie will be doing more for the Zizzi chain so watch out for her fabulous illustrations at your local!
