Bio
Since 2003 Guy Mckinley has been consistently producing character heavy, offbeat, colourful illustrations. A Japanese influence is clearly visible in a lot of his work and so pattern, colour and detailing run strongly throughout. McKinley’s work is infused with his love of old comic and storybook art from his youth.
Sam Hadley has illustrated the cover artwork for Captain in Calico - the lost novel by George MacDonald Fraser. This was actually the first novel written by the author but it was originally rejected by publishers and put away in a fire-prof safe by the author which was discovered by his children after his death.
Simon Bartram has illustrated the poster and promotional material for Theatre Alibi's new play, Olive & The Dream Train. Simon's surreal interpretation of the brief fits the style and content of the play perfectly and his portrayal of Olive turned out bear an uncanny resemblance to the actor playing the lead part.
It’s been a pooptastic week for Garry Parsons – with the release of not one but three pooping books!
Chris Labrooy has illustrated the packaging for Sushi Shop London’s latest offering, London Box. In his trademark humorous style, Chris created 6 lively anthromporphic letters to form the branding ‘London’ on the box’s exterior.
Phosphor Art’s Pastiche artist was recently commissioned by Event Magazine to create a number of illustrations to sit alongside a preview of The Girl in the Spider’s Web by David Lagercrantz.
