A Metaphorical Solution

Andrew Selby’s illustrations never disappoint. And tackling thought-provoking subjects is where he’s at his best. He is the cover illustrator for The Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal, having completed his second image for them he says: The articles "allow me to think conceptually about how to solve problems through metaphorical solutions - exactly the kind of work I enjoy doing. The bigger the puzzle - the more enjoyable it becomes!"

Andrew Selby's Winning Entry for 3X3

Andrew Selby has had an illustration selected for 3x3 The Contemporary of Illustration inaugural Professional Show. Andrew's winning entry was originally commissioned by Scottish design group Redpath, back in spring 2004, for clients the International Council of Shopping Centres. The Illustration was part of a set of four designs for use as pavilion banners and point of sale publicity material. Titled "Environment', the successful digital illustration joins 99 other winners out of a total of more than 1450 entries from all over the globe.

Andrew's work will now be reproduced in the first Professional Show annual and there will also be an accompanying exhibition in New York at the end of this year.

Andrew Selby

Andrew Selby has had two works selected for the Design and New Media section ssociation of Illustrators' Images 29 annual. 'Architecture' was commissioned by Scottish design group Redpath for clients the International Council of Shopping Centres, while 'Flag' was commissioned by the Design Institute of Australia as a design to update the Australian national flag for the 21st Century.

"Being selected to appear in Images 29 is a great honour, especially when you have been chosen by judges whose work and art direction you admire," said Andrew

Andrew's work will be exhibited at the Mall Galleries in London in July 2005 as well as appearing in Images 29, scheduled for release around the same time.

Selby gets Japanese Client

Commissioned by Ruan Milborrow at CDP Travis Sully, Andrew Selby has completed an ad for new car technology being developed by Japanese client NEC. Designed to prevent possible collisions by vehicle users and passengers, Andrew used a limited colour palette and simple design motifs to convey the message 'cars can talk to each other'. The job had a fast turnaround time and is another to add to his award winning portfolio

Sixth Time for Selby

The English Fox has been accepted into the Design and New Media category of Images 30, which for Andrew Selby is the sixth time his work has been successful in the annual. The image was originally commissioned by Charles Hively of the New York based agency Hively Design, for a brochure cover, promoting the work of British illustrators working in the United States. Congratulations Andrew!

More Success For Selby

A third inclusion into Images 31 in only three years can't be bad. Andrew Selby's "Christmas Eve" was selected and won in the Design and New Media category. If you thought that wasn't enough, he has also been commissioned by Laurence King Publishing to act as a picture editor for the book "Visual Communication". And with a proposal to write three books about Illustration Hybrids accepted for publication in December 2009, Andrew Selby really does define success.
