Mega Sandwich

Steinar Lund's stomach must have rumbled when he created this 'mega sandwich' for The Mail on Sunday at the end of last month.  Used in the newspaper's 'Live Magazine', the image was to show the top fillings for sandwiches in the UK. Steinar says "I photographed all the various fillings separately, a few bread slices then compiled them in Photoshop. The client wanted an illustrated look so I went over the artwork with a digital brush to get the desired effect." Mmmmm...

Bliss

 

'Bliss', a magical novel for girls has been illustrated by Steinar Lund recently for HarperCollins. Due to be released in March, and the first in a trilogy, Steinar has created his own piece of sweet imagery, sure to attract all girls' taste buds! The story follows Rosemary Bliss, a girl who has turned ten and seen her mother fold a lightning bolt into a bowl of batter. She realises then, that her parents make magic in the Bliss Bakery.

Derek Bacon April Flair Winner

Congratulations go to Derek Bacon for winning the Creativematch April Flair competition with this amusing piece.  He says: "This is a personal piece called: The Beetroot Incident at Feltham Library. It illustrates one of my earliest memories! This was pieced together in Photoshop, lots of montaging lots of textures pasted into path-drawn shapes, and lots of dodging, burning and general colouring-in. With the composition itself I thought it would be interesting to try having all the action pushed to the pictures edge, with the middle area deliberately void of action."

The agency's artist's have also won March 2010 Flair and February2010 Flair . We're on a roll!

What's Wrong With Washington?

The latest from Derek Bacon sees him bring to life the globally-resonating and challenging question: "What's Wrong With Washington" for The Economist.


This digital piece has taken pride of place on the front cover of The Economist recently. Taking advantage of the statue's recognisable status, Derek satirically reworks this globally famous memorial in photoshop to show Abraham Lincoln's despair at the slow state of US economic recovery.

Uncle Sam’s Creative Explosion

American Ingenuity is the theme of Britt Spencer’s explosive cover illustration for The Saturday Evening Post.

Britt was proud to have worked with this magazine: “For an illustrator in the States, it's pretty historical considering the mag’s close ties to Norman Rockwell and Leyendecker.”
