BBC’s Antique Roadshow Detectives Visit Artist Partners

Earlier in the year the team from BBC’s Antique Roadshow Detectives visited our office to film part of an episode at Artist Partners HQ. The story centres around Shirley Thompson, an AP artist represented in the 60's - 70's  whose beautiful  illustrations were found in a skip many decades ago, preserved and cherished before finding their way back to her family all these years afterwards.

Shirley’s fashion illustrations are exquisite and the artwork rescued in this story were for a Burberry catalogue in the 60s.

A lovely story and an interesting watch! You can catch the episode here and scroll to 16mins 27 seconds

enjoy!

Tom Haugomat joins Handsome Frank

Time to grab the new signing bugle and give it a mighty proud blow, we’re delighted to announce that Tom Haugomat has signed with Handsome Frank.
Tom is a born and bred Parisian who resides in his home city. Having studied at the world famous Gobelins school of visual communication he initially embarked on a successful career in animated films but latterly his love for illustration developed.
Now an established illustrator, Tom’s striking signature style draws upon a strong sense for composition and an acute awareness of the power of negative space. Working with a stripped back colour palette he creates wonderfully atmospheric imagery, often brooding with tension or sprinkled with magic as the brief desires.
We’re delighted to have him on board and can’t wait to get working with him. You can his full profile here.
