Miranda Sofroniou for The Observe

Miranda Sofroniou for The Observe (editorial, illustrator, The Artworks)

Miranda created this super fun search and find illustration for The Observer’s Easter ‘Observer’s Needed’ post. Some of the things to spot include: an Easter bonnet, a toadstool, a bumble bee, and a fried egg!

 

Miranda said "The brief was to create a moment for everyone, young and old, to press pause and enjoy getting lost in the details. I had so much fun making this one, building a busy scene and hiding the ten elements within it."

ADAM ALLSUCH BOARDMAN/ THE NEW ATHENIAN MAGAZINE

ADAM ALLSUCH BOARDMAN/ THE NEW ATHENIAN MAGAZINE (editorial, illustrator, NB Illustration)

While Adam is widely recognised for his Illustrated Histories series, his versatile style lends itself effortlessly to more corporate contexts, as seen in this striking cover for The New Athenian. His focus on people and architecture is reflected in the strong sense of detail across these samples.

Laurindo Feliciano for BBC Wildlife

Laurindo Feliciano for BBC Wildlife (editorial, illustrator, The Artworks)

 

 

Laurindo was commissioned by BBC Wildlife Magazine for an article about the necrobiome - the vast community of insects, microbes and scavengers that transforms death into new life. Rather than approaching the subject in a literal way, Laurindo wanted to create an image that felt poetic and slightly unsettling: a suspended moment where decay, beauty and renewal coexist.

Sam Chivers – Nautilus Magazine

Illustrating a fictional report from the future, tracing the dramatic journey of science from its turbulent present to a promising new era of innovation.

 

Sam Chivers – Nautilus Magazine (Debut Art, editorial, illustrator)

 

The concept behind the image was to depict a graveyard of scientific apparatus, from which vibrant, abstract shapes emerge, symbolizing the rebirth and evolution of scientific exploration unbounded by traditional funding structures/dogmatic cultures.

Nautilus is an award-winning, high-brow American science magazine that blends in-depth scientific reporting with storytelling, philosophy, culture, and art. Founded in 2013, its mission is to connect scientific topics to everyday life, exploring one specific monthly theme (e.g., time, consciousness, uncertainty) through comprehensive, long-form essays, interviews, and vivid illustrations.

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.
