In memory of the brilliant author Christopher Fowler, we would like to show his last book of the series  for the crime solving duo Bryant and Mays entitled: Peculiar London.

Christopher sadly passed in March of this year.Christopher loved the covers for all of his books in the series by the wonderfully talented Max Schindler who is represented by Artist Partners -  Max’s work managed to capture and convey so brilliantly the characters and the London backdrops so integral to the stories.

Bob Venables X Kwak World

Bob Venables X Kwak World (Illustration Ltd, illustrator)

Bob Venables creates a 'Kwak World' for the Belgian beer's recent rebrand.

This was an enjoyable and mammoth project for Bob which involved producing packaging artwork and a whole host of elements for an animated TV ad.

The award-winning beer brand commissioned Bob for his highly imaginative skills which have seen his art on trams and even hot-air balloons! Bob explains, "It was a lovely job to work on that involved the initial bottle label, which meant supplying a dozen or so sketches of the figure to decide which would eventually be used, then with the final one giving options on the details like buttons and ties. It then moved on to packaging to create a Kwak world that should be imaginative, quirky, unorthodox, curious and surreal. That meant illustrating caramel balloons, nougat bees, almond birds, banana penny farthings, hop windmills and many more. At the marketing stage I drew all the figures and backgrounds for the animated TV ad to create a 30 second film. Further to this, the artwork has been used on posters, trams, inflatable display figures and hot air balloons. It was a wonderful job to work on and to see the illustrations used in so many different situations.  There are over 70 different individual pieces so far, many painted overnight, as the deadlines where incredibly short, especially to keep the animators supplied, but I prefer that way of working rather than long timescales."

Lisa Sheehan / AT&T 147th Anniversary Ampersand

 

AT&T was inspired by the logos Lisa created for Saatchi & Saatchi, but they wanted their own unique spin on it. Lisa heavily utilized AT&T blue, and the CGI Ampersand features a variety of items that represent important moments from AT&T’s long history, including a phone for Alexander Graham Bell and the moon to represent the first call made from the moon. Lisa worked with AT&T’s creative team to lock in how to represent historical moments that would be instantly recognizable to the viewer. The piece was originally intended for social channels and internal use only, but the brand loved it so much, Lisa re-worked the image to jumbo size and the piece was projected onto AT&T’s building for all passers-by to enjoy.
