Gail Armstrong creates a beautiful set of Stamps

Gail Armstrong (from illustration Ltd) has created an incredible set of stamps on Henry VIII for Guernsey Post to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the coronation of the legendary king. Gail has used a colour palette that is heavily influenced by the paintings and textiles of the era. "All of the patterned and textured papers I used for these pieces, I created digitally" explained Gail "rather than being compromised by what was available."

Phosphor Art: Bob Wilson and EON

For the next 18 months Bob Wilson's wonderful relaxed cartoon characters will feature in magazines and newspapers throughout the country along side a TV campaign for EON. Bob Wilson is an ex D&AD award winning creative director who took up illustration when he discovered clients preferred his own work to the executions by commissioned artists!  His inexhaustible supply  of endearing fun characters drawn in a seemingly effortless style, belie the fact that Bob pays great attention to detail and is a perfectionist creating many versions until he is completely satisfied with the final result.
