Laurindo Feliciano for The New Statesman

Laurindo Feliciano for The New Statesman (editorial, illustrator, The Artworks)

In this commission for The New Statesman book review, Laurindo illustrated a long literary essay revisiting D.H. Lawrence’s Why the Novel Matters and asking what the novel means now.

'Rather than a portrait, I wanted to translate Lawrence’s idea of “tremulations on the ether” into an image: a mind as a resonant field, where layers of thought overlap, vibrate, and reshape each other. A landscape becomes consciousness; echoes stack into forms; books disappear, return, and shift meaning with time—alive, unstable, endlessly re-read.'
Words by Geoff Dyer for The New Statesman

I was delighted to be commissioned by advertising agency BBH to illustrate their new campaign for Experian, empowering customers to take control of their financial futures with their inspiring new brand platform.  The concept of the campaign uses classic nursery rhymes and fairy tales to encourage you to; ‘Better Your Story’ and improve your credit score. My job was to come up with a series of traditional, illustrated book covers – but with a twist!

 

The billboards went up all across London this week and have got lots of attention so far with their overall message of positivity and hope – just what we need in gloomy January!
