Phosphor Art presents: Pastiche

Jon Rogers, renowned pastiche artist, produced five exciting images art-directed by Jake and Dinos Chapman, for an unusual project for Harpers Bazaar featuring photos of Claudia Shiffer. Jon’s brief was to produce blood-curdling paintings reminiscent of the horror genre of the 1950s, which would act as backdrops to a unique photo shoot. The inspiration came from the Harpers Bazaar brief, “Capturing Claudia.”

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.
