Jhon Boy recently created the identity and campaign for EstarB, a psychological and emotional support service for young people aged 12 to 25 launched by the Barcelona City Council.
Design studio Clase said that Jhon Boy's illustrations "capture everyday emotional moments through a simple, warm and inclusive visual language. The scenes focus on dialogue, care and connection, translating complex emotional states into approachable images that resonate with a young audience".
"The campaign extends this visual and verbal dialogue into public space across the streets of Barcelona, where the illustrations become the main vehicle to communicate the service."
Jhon Boy is the alias of Jorge Gallardo, a visual artist from Tenerife, Canary Islands. He tries to understand reality through his work, while creating a dialogue between image and viewer.
The style of his works is minimalist and clean and the most important part of Jhon Boy's process is the concept he can transmit with each scene.
Jhon Boy says: “I have always been fascinated with images, the impact they make in our lives is absolutely punishing. I prefer to create some kind scenes and exchange a dialogue between the image and the viewer, reducing everything to human values. On the other hand, my work can be understood in a lot of different ways, I prefer to let people think or see whatever they want to.”
Check out another of Jhon Boy's recent projects, creating gifs of analog crafts for It's Nice That.

Oh Riley, I fear the whole Bright team has too!

He has since traveled across the country from coast to coast working for various studios as an Illustrator in both the children’s book and greeting card industries. Riley’s work is fueled by his friends and family he has found in the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as his wide array of other passions including the wildlife around him, and good food. In his free time, you’ll probably find Riley tending to his indoor jungle or cooking up something in the kitchen.

Kate Forrester produced a delightful set of fairytale illustrations with a difference, in this collaboration with BBH for Experian’s latest ad campaign. Read on below to hear Kate’s thoughts on the project and see more examples of her roughs, final artwork and the different platforms the ads have been used across.
I was delighted to be commissioned by advertising agency BBH to illustrate their new campaign for Experian, empowering customers to take control of their financial futures with their inspiring new brand platform. The concept of the campaign uses classic nursery rhymes and fairy tales to encourage you to; ‘Better Your Story’ and improve your credit score.

The billboards went up all across London this week and have got lots of attention so far with their overall message of positivity and hope – just what we need in gloomy January!
Phosphor's Pastiche has been working on an exciting project for Greater Anglia trains, creating a festive illustration for 96-sheet, 48-sheet and 6-sheet posters.
The posters, which feature Somerset House's ice rink, Greater Anglia's red hare mascot and the caption 'Explore London & plug into the festive feeling' will be on display around Greater Anglia and doing the rounds on social media to encourage travel into the capital this festive season.
Even with multiple personalities, Phosphor's Pastiche artist was finding it hard to keep up with demand, so they now have a whole team of talented Pastiche illustrators taking commissions for your every need. Each is a specialist in their own field but they also work well as a team on joint projects.
