Emma Rios has been working with Pencil Agency on this ad for Mercedes. Featuring the actress Emilia Fox, the ad uses Emma's skills as a set designer to create the backdrops for the story, which were then painted by a scenic artist. The ad is a good humoured 'to be continued' tale, framed by Emma's expressive lines.

Sholto Walker has completed a fun yet sobering commission for a leading specialist UK advertising agency. The brief was to design a mostly friendly monster to represent the rare blood disorder haemophilia that predominately affects males. The aim of the campaign was to inform young children who suffer with the disease about how to live safely with it. The character had to be represented in a positive and entertaining way while reflecting the particular nature of the disorder as closely as possible. Sholto says " This I did by designing a bright red pet monster, Hemon, that was, while potentially threatening, mostly benign and friendly if looked after and treated with respect by his friend, Max, the ten-year-old boy he lives with. I drew the characters as vignettes in various scenarios and activities and also produced three four-page comic strips featuring Max and Hemon in various simple short stories."

This piece of imagery by super talent Danny Allison has been created for Publicis Ireland for client Renault. Danny had one day to complete the poster, an extremely tight deadline which involved a working night, but with a successful result. Danny says "(The artwork was) all hand done, screen printed, painted. The man who is on the poster got in touch to say he loved it (Mark Rohan who is (the) Irish Paralympic hand-cycling champion)". Renault are so pleased they are also having a print to hang in their headquarters.

Matthew Cook was delighted to have been asked recently to spend a week at Mother advertising agency, capturing day to day life there through his illustrations. Mark Waites, Creative Partner at Mother said: “We wanted to invite Matthew in to draw what he saw at the Mother offices, not only because he’s an amazing draughtsman with a beautiful and unique style, but because he’s witnessed the extremity of battle. After his work in Afghanistan we thought it would be interesting for him to turn his gaze on the on the inconsequential that happens at Mother.” https://above-the-lines.tumblr.com/
