Willie's Green Fingers
Willie Ryan’s first passion isn’t gardening but for the last 2 years he has been very close to the finer details of digging, weeding and sowing. Tim Shearring at The Telegraph has commissioned Willie consistently for a weekly Saturday spot in the Gardening section. The illustrations are printed fairly small which is fine for Willie’s very graphic icon-like style, he is also left to do pretty much what he wants given the flexibility of the Art Director’s 'the quirkier the better' approach. The images continue to be fun to do and infact inspirational for Willie, what more could an Illustrator want?

He received an all expenses paid trip out to Turin to talk about working together on a series of fantasy teen titles. In his own words he was treated like an illustration guru, over restaurant tables given folios to look through form other Italian illustrators, so that the 'master' could advise on how they could improve. For a short while Alan thought he had died and gone to illustration heaven!
Though the client has turned out to be quite exacting and the budget for book covers not in the same league as their expenses kitty!! It's still makes the job a sunnier experience all round.

We have a Rockstar
Richard Phipps has recently completed a tremendous artwork for the US magazine Guitarworld. The commissioner Andy Omel briefed Richard to illustrate an article on a guitarist called Yngwie who was popular in the 1980's and played somewhat in the style of Paganini, mixing rock and classical music. The brief was to produce a portrait that would reproduce opposite an 18th century drawing of Paganini paying his violin, and to be in a period style to match. Richard took great care in getting the paper texture right and also (most importantly for the guitar enthusiast) drawing Yngwie’s Fendler Stratocaster correctly. After being saved by a family member who told Richard to "check the number and position of the dots between the frets", Richard realised he couldn’t afford for the detail even to be slightly off, guitar lovers maybe picky about their guitars but the illustration was bang on target

Bacon Re-Designs Brussels
Derek Bacon has just finished a commission for a Brussels based agency to promote the re-development of the city. Speculoos (the design agency) were asked by Brussels City Council to promote 4 large areas in order to find investors for the building of new urban areas. Derek so cleverly mixing his photomontage with imagination and vision created the images which have been enlarged as exhibition panels and are currently being shown at the Mipim at Cannes – the biggest real estate fair in Europe. He says about the job; ‘with no idea of what the actual architecture will eventually look like, the illustrations had to show the developments in a more abstract way’, as the areas are currently old railway zones it was a test of Derek’s vision of what such a big city could look like. Derek was given a blank canvas in the most extreme sense!. See Derek’s entire portfolio at www.illustrationweb.com/DerekBacon

Plot 52
Greg Becker has now been a full time illustrator for over 20 years since leaving the RCA. Whilst this fact may make him feel old (!), he has built up a huge body of artworks both as an Illustrator and Painter for many and varied clients. Probably best known for the children’s books he’s illustrated, Greg has now written his own book; an illustrated diary of life on his allotment. Greg says about the project; ‘PLOT 52 is a gently humorous and slightly quirky record of events and encounters taking place on my allotment, mainly concerning the difficulties of growing your own veg, fighting against the forces of nature and dealing with tools with a mind of their own.’ The project is still in motion but is sure to find a publisher soon. Greg’s colourful crayon illustrations will make it a great gift book.

Mark Oliver – Winner of the SAA Transport for London Awards
We are more than proud to announce Mark Oliver is the winner of the SAA Transport for London Awards. Being one of the most prestigious awards for Illustrators to win at present, Mark’s illustration on a theme of ‘OPEN SPACES BY TUBE, BUS AND RIVER’ represents a huge achievement both for him and for us. Mark says about his win; ’When you look through all those great posters at the TFL museum it feels like a great honour to join them...and the money's nice too!’. Mark’s image is not only a beautiful illustration but so accurately conveys the idea, with a subtle but ample gesture of transport in London. The artwork has been beautifully designed and has the confidence that a minimal palette can achieve, surrealism meets 21st century illustration. He is a unique, incredibly versatile star!

Mike Stones has got himself a year’s contract to produce the covers for the Lancet Oncology - a journal publishing articles and research on medical issues. He’s allowed immense freedom with the job , the fact that the client doesn’t require a visual reinforces in Mike that he’s been commissioned purely for what his work is about. Dr Lidia Siemaszkiewicz; the Deputy Editor sends Mike a summary of a key article in the issue, as long as he is sensitive to what might appear in the image and not let his style undermine the article, he can create and be creative! With 3 covers already produced this year, Mike has completed some superb illustrations combining photomontage, graphic marks and lettering to create an almost wet off the litho feel!

Robinson Gives Up Junk!
Keith Robinson has just produced a spectacular animation entitled ‘Food Most Fowl’ for the website supporting the Channel 4 programme ‘Jamie’s School Dinners’. The animation was commissioned by Ian Hollworth at 72 dots http://www.72dots.co.uk who briefed Keith to produce a humourous spoof horror cartoon, satirising the horrible things that go into processed food. Keith created the character Prof. F. Rankfurter along with a detailed storyboard, outline of the script, main body of artwork, sorted the timing and produced all the finished animation in Flash. Also he directed the voiceover. It’s a humourous but also serious look at processed food lightened by Keith’s fun style. He says of the commission ‘It was great fun animating the nutty, unhinged professor, and referencing classic horror movies like Bride of Frankenstein. I’ll never eat another chicken nugget though!’ Ian at 72 dots was confident of Keith’s ability, he says of the artist ‘Quite simply, one of the most professional people I have worked with in the last 10 years’.
