Tavo Montañez for Science Magazine

Tavo Montañez for Science Magazine (editorial, Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Science Magazine’s report on herpetologist Alejandro Arteaga’s work, is illustrated by Tavo Montañez.

Tavo's rich portrait of the herpetologist is for a feature on his work identifying and protecting Ecuador’s reptiles and amphibians. Written by Humberto Basilio and art directed by Marcy Atarod, the article examines Arteaga’s contributions to species discovery alongside the controversy surrounding some of his methods.

For the commission, Tavo shows a defiant Arteaga alongside Ecuador’s native reptiles, carefully building each element separately to allow flexibility throughout the editorial process.

Satoshi Kambayashi for PLC Magazine

Satoshi Kambayashi for PLC Magazine (editorial, illustrator, Phosphor Art)

 

 

Phosphor's Satoshi Kambayashi has been working with PLC Magazine (the leading monthly magazine for business lawyers) for many years, often lending his unique skills to their cover. Satoshi revels in taking a tricky brief and sending multiple options for the client to choose from. This cover was based on an article called 'Algorithmic pricing under scrutiny: managing the risks' which was about companies using software or AI tools to dynamically set or recommend prices for their products - something which can create competition law risks for companies.

Satoshi Kambayashi is known for his great ability to solve a creative problem by providing brilliant quirky solutions with a sense of humour, which is why so many magazines rely on him to interpret and conceptualise their ideas.

Find more of Satoshi's PLC covers in his portfolio or get in touch with Trina at Phosphor if you'd like to make use of Satoshi's incredible imagination.
