Starbucks China

Mark Oliver's magnificent work for Starbucks China is now live.  JWT Shanghai commissioned Mark for ten illustrations, each of a different planet to represent ten Frappuchino flavours. The illustrations also had to accommodate a photographic image of the Frappuchino. Mark says "The plan was to create an amazing HTML 5 animation for the web and all illustrations had to be complete within three weeks."  See it here.

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!
