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.

LEVI PINFOLD ILLUSTRATES HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

LEVI PINFOLD ILLUSTRATES HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE (Arena Illustration, illustrator, publishing)

 

One of illustration's most extraordinary talents has stepped into the wizarding world again, and the results are nothing short of spellbinding. Levi brings his singular vision to the sixth fully illustrated edition of J.K. Rowling's beloved series, and the first glimpses are breathtaking.

 

LEVI PINFOLD ILLUSTRATES HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE (Arena Illustration, illustrator, publishing)

 

This month we are thrilled to share a first look at Levi's illustrations for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, published by Bloomsbury. Taking up the baton from Jim Kay, Levi has made the world entirely his own - from the silver instruments of Dumbledore's office to the snow-dusted paths of Hogsmeade and the heady atmosphere of Professor Slughorn's Potions class. J.K. Rowling herself has described his work as spellbinding, and it's hard to disagree. The full edition publishes on 6th October 2026, and pre-orders are open now via Bloomsbury with 30% off and an exclusive tote bag featuring the cover.

RICHARD JOHNSON’S STARRY SEEK-AND-FIND FOR THE OBSERVER

RICHARD JOHNSON’S STARRY SEEK-AND-FIND FOR THE OBSERVER (illustrator, publishing)

 

Award-winning illustrator Richard Johnson turns the night sky into a world you can lose yourself in - and his latest commission for The Observer is a breathtaking double-page spread that hides a universe of surprises.

This month we celebrate Richard's stunning editorial work for The Observer, created in anticipation of a rare planetary alignment and in celebration of the South Downs Dark Skies Festival. The brief called for a seek-and-find puzzle tucked inside a visually spectacular spread and Richard delivered something far beyond a simple game. Readers were invited to search a luminous, star-strewn landscape for hidden treasures including a badger, a space rocket flask, a telescope and… a scotch egg! His trademark dreamlike style and luminescent colour palette transformed the commission into something genuinely transporting.

Richard Johnson's editorial illustration work spans decades of commissions for major publications, and his ability to bring warmth, wit and wonder to even the most specific of briefs is second to none. Whether crafting immersive editorial spreads or intricate visual puzzles, his work invites audiences to look closer and always rewards them for doing so.

Svetlana Molodchenko – Harrods

Svetlana Molodchenko – Harrods (Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Svetlana Molodchenko designs two silk scarves for Harrods, translating jewellery archives into wearable lace.

Svetlana worked with Harrods to create ornate scarf designs, complete with borders that allow the patterns to shift, frame and combine.

Svetlana Molodchenko – Harrods (Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Lace Print draws directly from archival jewellery illustrations, assembling gem-studded bees and floral fragments into a dense ornamental field that softens as the silk moves.

Svetlana Molodchenko – Harrods (Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Gilded Butterfly Print introduces contrast, pairing a structured floral lattice with butterflies rendered as faceted adornments, poised between delicacy and weight.

Svetlana Molodchenko – Harrods (Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

On fabric, the work behaves like fine jewellery itself: precise, luminous, and designed to catch the eye differently with every fold.
