Danny Allison for Jersey Stamps

Danny Allison for Jersey Stamps (Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Danny Allison illustrates a stamp series tracing the links between Jersey and the United States.

A presidential visit, an escape during wartime, Jersey cows and even the origins of New Jersey form the basis of a new stamp collection illustrated by Danny for Jersey Stamps, marking the long-standing links between the island and the United States.

Created for the Jersey's International Connections issue, the set explores how people, products and ideas have travelled across the Atlantic, shaping relationships that continue today.

Linking such varied stories was central to the brief. Danny's artwork creates a coherent visual language across the series, bringing together the diverse subjects while allowing each stamp to retain its own identity.

Becca Thorne for Jersey Stamps

Becca Thorne for Jersey Stamps (Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Jersey Stamps and Collectibles commission Becca Thorne for a stamp collection exploring the legend of Saint Helier.

Becca's new collection of stamps is inspired by the story of Saint Helier, the sixth century hermit and martyr who became Jersey's patron saint. The series explores both the island's history and the myths that have shaped his legacy.

The commission brought together many of Becca's longstanding influences, including medieval art, mythology, stained glass, Celtic imagery and Anglo Saxon design. Although Becca usually works in linocut, she created these illustrations digitally. By building each colour as a separate layer and carving away white space with an eraser tool, she was able to recreate the process and texture of traditional lino printing.

The collection is available now.

Eoin has teamed up with advertising agency 72 & Sunny in Amsterdam to create a poster for Footlocker for a celebration of the iconic store from the 1980’s to present day - 2020’s. The brief was to create a predefined casted personality for each decade wearing some key trainers of the time.
