Supermayor!

 

on the tube

Pete Pachoumis is commissioned by The Ministry of Sound to create poster art for a campaign to save the famous club.
Proposed residential development of the land around the club could result in its closure, so The Ministry of Sound have been calling on the support of London Mayor Boris Johnson. Pete has produced a comical image to raise awareness and support for the case, which has been used across social media platforms, as posters and even projected on to the side of a nearby tower block.
After four years of talks, the final decision will be made today by the Mayor. Follow the news here.
Pete says "I was approached to create an image that would be eye catching, entertaining, memorable and tell a quick story all while capturing a likeness of the Mayor. I try my best when allowed in my illustration work to entertain the viewer (along with) the message that the client wishes to convey. This project was the sum of that in one single image; the Mayor swooping in and saving the Ministry of Sound all while placing a smile of the faces of the people in London."

Engage

Commissioned by Flourish Agency in the US, Andy Council completes this poster for Cleveland State University.
The design is one of a series based around the word 'Engage'; with a student and the project they are working on featured in the artwork. Andy's illustrates a type of wind turbine currently in development.

Journey by Starlight

Britt Spencer teams up with Ian Flitcroft to bring us 'Journey By Starlight', 'a time traveller's guide to life, the universe and everything'. The book sets out to explain many things, (in an understandable way) from why the sky is blue to Quantum Mechanics, illustrated in Britt's naturally humourous comic style. Britt says "...it's been doing great critically and was even highlighted on NPR's "On Point" program as a "great summer read." Go get yourself a copy.

Kickback Man

Joe McDermott's card for Papyrus is now on the shelves. The artwork targeted for the birthday of 'the man in your life' was to feature a slightly past-his-prime 'superhero'. Joe says "They wanted the hero to be relaxing on his couch, watching TV, and be surrounded by junk food. He's a couch potato who isn't so concerned about fighting crime anymore."
