Phosphor's Darren Whittington recently completed a job for Tesco Ireland. Darren did over 80 illustrations for a series of posters depicting badges highlighting good causes supported by the supermarket, as well as Tesco staff.
Darren Whittington is the go-to guy for digital illustration. His previous experience as an Art Director means he understands the client’s needs and always works on-brief and on time.
“I’ve been an illustrator for God knows how long, and dabbled as an advertising Art Director before a planned escape," says Darren. "My illustration career has been quite varied over the years, all starting with drawing on my parents' wallpaper using lipstick and eyeliner, and then winning the Sugar Puffs colouring-in competition when I was 5. Nothing could quite compete with that, until I was commissioned to design prints for fashion designer Michiko Koshino in 1999, which led to illustrating for most of the leading magazines in the UK, and many different styled advertising campaigns for companies such as Coca-Cola, MSN, Vodafone, Orange, The Body Shop, and British Gas."
"The thing I love about being an illustrator," continues Darren, "is the variety of people I can work with, which always pushes my style in new directions, allowing me to explore areas that help me constantly evolve and potentially win the next Sugar Puffs colouring-in competition".

Colombian artist Gina has developed a full illustration system for dm-drogerie markt’s Spring 2026 campaign, Garden of Transformation, displayed across more than 2,000 stores nationwide in Germany.
The commission forms part of dm’s rotating artist programme, which invites a different illustrator every four months to reinterpret the brand’s visual identity at scale - Gina is the first Latin American artist selected for the series, extending its cultural and visual range.
Her concept transforms everyday retail environments into living ecosystems, where objects and beauty spaces evolve into organic, blooming forms. The campaign spans storefront façades, posters, postcards, shopping bags, and in-store applications, running until 26 June 2026 and unifying dm’s seasonal presence through a cohesive illustrated world.
Gina says, "Working on this project alongside the design team and my agent has been a deeply enriching journey. Being able to combine analog and digital techniques and to contribute ideas that were ultimately considered for a brand of this scale, has been incredibly rewarding. This commission brings together many of the things I love both as an illustrator and as a person. I hope that those who encounter it feel energized by the colors, uplifted by the visuals, and carry with them a sense of joy and positive energy."
