Jhon Boy for EstarB

Jhon Boy for EstarB (illustrator, Phosphor Art)

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.

Svetlana Molodchenko – Harrods

Svetlana Molodchenko – Harrods (Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Svetlana Molodchenko designs two silk scarves for Harrods, translating jewellery archives into wearable lace.

Svetlana worked with Harrods to create ornate scarf designs, complete with borders that allow the patterns to shift, frame and combine.

Svetlana Molodchenko – Harrods (Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Lace Print draws directly from archival jewellery illustrations, assembling gem-studded bees and floral fragments into a dense ornamental field that softens as the silk moves.

Svetlana Molodchenko – Harrods (Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Gilded Butterfly Print introduces contrast, pairing a structured floral lattice with butterflies rendered as faceted adornments, poised between delicacy and weight.

On fabric, the work behaves like fine jewellery itself: precise, luminous, and designed to catch the eye differently with every fold.

New work from Lee Ford

New work from Lee Ford (illustrator)

Phosphor's Lee Ford has been experimenting with progressing his style and treating figures in a more graphic way.

Lee’s unique approach to graphic image making has a strong connection to traditional print based methods and has evolved through many years of experimentation. These traditionally printed elements are combined with digital and analogue graphic processes that include found ephemera, drawing and photography all described using a playful, visceral visual language that explores both concept and aesthetic in equal measure.

Lee describes his passion for graphic processes and obsession with surface texture as playful, expressive and emotive.

Find more of Lee's work in his portfolio at phosphorart.com or contact Trina to discuss commissioning Lee.
