Bob Wilson and the Eon campaign

Bob Wilson’s epic campaign for Eon still continues, and his latest ads depicting various characterful mice, nicely back up his recent TV commercial. Bob works in charcoal on a smooth watercolour paper, which gives the wonderful hand crafted feel he is so well known for.
